For an object in an elliptical orbit around the moon, the points in the orbit that are closest to and farthest from the center of the moon are called perilune and apolune, repectively. These are the vertices of the orbit. The center of the moon is at one focus of the orbit. The Apollo 11 spacecraft was placed in a lunar orbit with perilune at 68 mi and apolune at 195 mi above the surface of the moon. Assuming that the moon is a sphere of radius 1075 mi, find an equation for the orbit of Apollo 11. (Place the coordinate axes so that the origin is at the center of the orbit and the foci are located on the x-axis)

Vertices Of An Ellipse

In the study of the conic section of the geometry, An ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, or foci where the set of all locus of points in the plane has their sum of the distances to the two foci is constant. On the ellipse curve, it is the intersection point of the main axis. In an ellipse graph, the center of the axis is the midpoint of the line segment connecting the foci. The major axis is the line section that runs through the ellipse's foci, while the minor axis runs through the middle and is perpendicular to the major axis.. The ellipse has two endpoints on the major axis which are known as the vertices (in plural), vertex in the singular. The equation of the major axis is 2a, the equation of the minor is 2b and the distance between the major axis and minor axis is 2c. The semi-major axis has a length of a and the semi-minor axis has a length of b. The ellipse's vertices are determined by the elliptical orbit's equation and graph.
