Short Answer
Graph each conic section. If it is a parabola, then name the vertex, focus, and directirix. If it is a circle,
then name the center and the radius. If it is an ellipse, then name the center, vertices, co-vertices, and
foci. If it is a hyperbola, then name the center, vertices, and foci.

diameter of Earth is 7920 miles. Write an equation for the orbit of the satellite if the center of the orbit is the
center of the Earth labeled (0, 0).
27. An elliptical track has a major axis that is 80 yards long and a minor axis that is 72 yards long. Find an
equation for the track if its center is (0, 0) and the major axis is the x-axis.
28. Suppose that the path of a newly discovered comet could be modeled by using one branch of the equation
, where distances are measured in astronomical units. Name the vertices of the hyperbola and
then graph the hyperbola.
29. Find an equation that models the path of a satellite if its path is a hyperbola, a = 55,000 km, and c = 81,000
km. Assume that the center of the hyperbola is the origin and the transverse axis is horizontal.
Identify the conic section. Write the equation in standard form. If it is a parabola, give the vertex. If it
is a circle, give the center and radius. If it is an ellipse or a hyperbola, give the center and foci.
