Question
3. Reason Jupiter's gravity changes a spacecraft's
path to a hyperbola as it approaches. The
focus of the hyperbola nearest the spacecraft's
path is the center of Jupiter. The diameter of
the planet is 139,822 km. Suppose the path
of an approaching spacecraft has an equation
with a = 80,000 km and c= 170,000 Km.
Assuming the transverse axis.js horizontal,
write the equation that models the path of the
spacecraft as it approaches Jupiter. What is the
distance from the spacecraft to the planet at
the vertex of the hyperbola?
