When an airplane travels faster than the speed of sound, the sound waves form a cone behind the airplane. If the airplane is flying parallel to the ground, then the sound waves intersect the ground in a hyperbola with the airplane directly above its center, and a sonic boom is heard along the hyperbola. You hear a sonic boom that is audible along a hyperbola with the equation (x2/100)(y2/4)=1, where x and y are measured in miles. What is the shortesthorizontal distance you could be from the airplane?
Graph the ellipse given by the equation 49x2+16y2=784 . Rewrite the equation in standard form. Then identify and label the center, vertices, co-vertices, and foci.
An arch has the shape of a semi-ellipse (the top half of an ellipse). The arch has a height of 8 feet and a span of 20 feet. Find an equation for the ellipse, and use that to find the height to the nearest 0.01 foot of the arch at a distance of 4 feet from the center.
An arch has the shape of a semi-ellipse. The arch has a height of 12 feet and a span of 40 feet. Find an equation for the ellipse, and use that to find the distance from the center to a point at which the height is 6 feet. Round to the nearest hundredth.
Road Design Roads are often designed with parabolic surfaces to allow rain to drain off. A particular road is 32 feet wide and 0.4 foot higher in the center than it is on the sides (see figure). (a) Write an equation of the parabola with its vertex at the origin that models the road surface. (b) How far from the center of the road is the road surface 0.1 foot lower than the center?
The graph of the equation x2a2+y2b2=1 with a >b > 0 is an ellipse with vertices ( __, __ ) and ( __, __ ) and foci (c,0) , where c = ___. So the graph of x252+y242=1 is an ellipse with vertices ( __, __ ) and ( __, __ ) and foci ( __, __ ) and ( __, __ ).
SKILLS Plus Ancillary Circle The ancillary circle of an ellipse is the circle with radius equal to half the length of the minor axis and center the same as the ellipse see the figure. The ancillary circle is thus the largest circle that can fit within an ellipse. a Find an equation for the ancillary circle of the ellipse x2+4y2=16. b For the ellipse and ancillary circle of part a, show that if (s,t) is a point on the ancillary circle, then (2s,t) is a point on the ellipse.
A satellite dish is shaped like a paraboloid of revolution. This means that it can be formed by rotating a parabola around its axis of symmetry. The receiver is to be located at the focus. If the dish is 12 feet across at its opening and 4 feet deep at its center, where should the receiver be placed?
