Tour Boat A tour boat travels between two islands that are 12 miles apart (see figure). There is enough fuel for a 20-mile trip. (a) Explain why the region in which the boat can travel is bounded by an ellipse. (b) Let 0,0 represent the center of the ellipse. Find the coordinates of each island. (c) The boat travels from Island 1, past Island 2 to a vertex of the ellipse, and then to Island 2. How many miles does the boat travel? Use your answer to find the coordinates of the vertex. (d) Use the results from parts (b) and (c) to write an equation of the ellipse that bounds the region in which the boat can travel.

Lunar Orbit 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, respectively. 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)

DISCUS: A Family of Confocal Conics Conics that share a focus are called confocal. Consider the family of conics that have a focus at (0, 1) and a vertex at the origin, as shown in the figure. Find equations of two different ellipses that have these properties. Find equations of two different hyperbolas that have these properties. Explain why only one parabola satisfies these properties. Find its equation. Sketch the conics you found in parts (a), (b), and (c) on the same coordinate axes (for the hyperbolas, sketch the top branches only). How are the ellipses and hyperbolas related to the parabola?
