Step-by-step explanation:
If you plot this point and the directrix on a coordinate plane, you can see that the directrix is 1/4 of a unit below the vertex. Since, by nature, a parabola opens in the direction opposite the directrix and "hugs" the focus, this is a positive x-squared parabola (meaning it opens upwards). The formula for this type of a parabola is, in vertex form,
where p is distance (in units) between the vertex and the directrix and h and k are the coordinates of the vertex. For us, p = .25, h = 7, and k = -6. Filling in our formula:
Simplify the left side to
which simplifies, in its entirety, to

Step-by-step explanation:
An ellipse is the locus of a point such that its distances from two fixed points, called foci, have a sum that is equal to a positive constant.
The equation of an ellipse with a center at the origin and the x axis as the minor axis is given by:
Since the distance of the satellite from the surface of the moon varies from 357 km to 710 km, hence:
b = 357 km + 959 km = 1316 km
a = 710 km + 959 km = 1669 km
Therefore the equation of the ellipse is:
