Orbit of a Satellite A satellite is in orbit around the moon. A coordinate plane containing the orbit is set up with the center of the moon at the origin, as shown in the following graph, with distances measured in megameters
(a) From the graph, determine the closest to and the farthest from the center of the moon that the satellite gets.
(b) There are two points in the orbit with

- Astronomy Some comets have a hyperbolic orbit, with the sun as one focus. When the comet shown in the illustration is far away from Earth, it appears to be approaching Earth along the line y=2x . Find the equation in standard form of its orbit if the comet comes within 100 million miles of Earth.arrow_forwardFind the intersection point(s) of the curves whose equations are: 5x - 4 - 2x – 4x + 22 The intersection point(s) are (Enter the coordinates of the intersection point(s), or DNE if there are no intersection points)arrow_forwardPERFROMANCE TASK NO. 4 Many Pizzas shop offers three different sizes of pizza. Suppose that the coordinates of the center and the measure of the radius of each pizza are as follows, write the equation of the circle of each pizza in standard form and general form. Then graph each circle in the coordinate plane (or use graphing paper to graph each size).
