question 91

Multiple Choice

Find the polar coordinates of the point(s) of intersection of the given curves for 0 $$0 \leq \theta < 2 \pi$$
- $$r = \frac { a \left( 1 - e ^ { 2 } \right) } { 1 + e \cos \theta }$$ Given that the polar equation r models the orbits of the planets, estimate the smallest possible distance between Earth, for which a = 1.00 and e = 0.017, and Venus, for which a = 0.78 and
E = 0.007.
