Answer: C. Parabola
Definition: a parabola is a conic section in which it is mostly characterised of having a U-shape wherein it is symmetrical and an open plane curve.
<span>3x - 2y + 2y > -14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 0 > -14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x > -14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 14 > -14 + 14 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 14 > 0 + 2y </span>
<span>3x + 14 > 2y </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > 2y/2 </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y*(2/2) </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y*(1) </span>
<span>(3x + 14)/2 > y </span>
<span>y < (3x + 14)/2 </span>
<span>y < 3x/2 + 14/2 </span>
<span>y < 3x/2 + 7 </span>
<span>y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>“y” is LESS THAN (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>the slope intercept form of the inequality is: y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>STEP 2: Temporarily change the inequality into an equation by replacing the < symbol with an = symbol. </span>
<span>y < (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>y = (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>STEP 3: Prepare the x-y table using the equation from Step 2. </span>
<span>Using the slope intercept form of the equation from Step 2, choose a value for x, and then compute y for at least three points. </span>
<span>Although you could plot the graph with just two sets of x-y coordinates, you should compute at least three different sets of coordinates points to ensure you have not made a mistake. All three x-y coordinates must lie on the same straight line. If they do not, you have made a mistake. </span>
<span>You can choose any value for x. </span>
<span>For example, (arbitrarily) choose x = -2 </span>
<span>If x = -2, </span>
<span>y = (3/2)*x + 7 </span>
<span>y = (3/2)*(-2) + 7 </span>
<span>y = 4 </span>
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
