Hint: In an ellipse, c2=a2b2 .Finding the focal width In the ellipse shown, chord AA passes through the focus F and is perpendicular to the major axis. Show that the length of AA called the focal width is 2b2a.Prove that segment FV in Example 7 is the shortest distance between the Earth and the Sun. Hint: Refer to Exercise 63. EXAMPLE 7 The orbit of the Earth is approximately an ellipse, with the sun at one focus. The ratio of c to a called the eccentricity of the ellipse is about 162, and the length of the major axis is approximately 186,000,000 miles. How close does the Earth get to the sun?66EThe distance between point P(x,y) and the point (0,2) is 13 of the distance of point P from the line y=18.

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.59E60ENavigation The LORAN LOng RAnge Navigation system in the illustration uses two radio transmitters 26 miles apart to send simultaneous signals. The navigator on a ship at P(x,y) receives the closer signal rst and determines that the difference of the distances between the ship and each transmitter is 24 miles. That places the ship on a certain curve. Identify the curve and nd an equation in standard form.62E63ESonic boom The position of a sonic boom caused by the faster-than-sound aircraft is one branch of the hyperbola y2x2=25 in the coordinate system shown.

If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. It is possible for a system of two equations and two variables whose graphs are a hyperbola and an ellipse to have exactly five real ordered pair solutions.65E66E1E2E3E4E5E6E7E8E9E10E11E12E13E14E15E16E17E18E19E20E21E22E23E24E25E26E27E28E29E30E1CT2CT3CT4CT5CT6CT7CT8CT9CT10CT11CT12CT13CT14CT15CT16CTSolve each system using substitution and elimination. {x2+y2=23y=x2318CT19CT20CT1CM2CM3CM4CM
