Answer:
See below for answers and explanations
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>
10x - 12x - 3 does not equal -5x. Looks like what she did wrong was treating -3 as -3x and got her incorrect result that way
<u>Part B</u>
10x - 12x - 3 = (10-12)x - 3 = -2x - 3
The minimum distance between the asteroid and the sun is 10 - 6 =4
The given hyperbolic path defined as
divide both the sides by 576,
The general equation of
hyperbola is written as
;
Compare with above mention equation
Here
The distance between the asteroid and the sun is seen by figure -1
or
⇒c =10
The minimum distance between the asteroid and the sun is 10 -6 =4
