Solve the Problem $\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 519 ^ { 2 } } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 516.9 ^ { 2 } } = 1$

question 12

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The orbit of a planet around a sun is an ellipse with the sun at one focus. The aphelion of a planet is its greatest distance from the sun, its perihelion is its shortest distance, and its mean distance is the length of the semimajor
Axis of the elliptical orbit. If a planet has a perihelion of 522.2 million miles and a mean distance of 525 million
Miles, write an equation for the orbit of the planet around the sun.

• A) \(\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 519 ^ { 2 } } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 516.9 ^ { 2 } } = 1\)
• B) \(\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 519 ^ { 2 } } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 518.996 ^ { 2 } } = 1\)
• C) \(\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 519.004 ^ { 2 } } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 519 ^ { 2 } } = 1\)
• D) \(\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 519 ^ { 2 } } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 2.1 ^ { 2 } } = 1\)
