An equation for the ellipse ( standard form ):
x²/a²  +  y²/b² = 1
Here is:  a - semi-major axis and b - semi-minor axis.
Radius of the moon is 1,000 km and the distance from the surface of the moon to the satellite varies from 953 km to 466 km.
a = 1,000 + 953 = 1,953 km
b = 1,000 + 466 = 1,466 km
Answer:
The equation is  x² / 1,953²  + y² / 1,466² = 1
or: x²/3,814,209  +   y²/2,149,156  = 1

Algebraically solve the system of equations 2x + y = 5 and 5x − 2y = 8.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

x=2, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 5

5x − 2y = 8.

Multiply the first equation by 2

2( 2x + y) = 5*2

4x +2y = 10

Add this to the 2nd equation to eliminate y

4x+2y = 10

5x -2y = 8

--------------------

9x = 18

Divide by 9

9x/9 = 18/9

x = 2

Now find y

2x+y = 5

2(2)+y = 5

4+y = 5

Subtract 4 from each side

y = 5-4

y =1
