To classify the path of the asteroid. Then find the standard equation and graph it.
The path of the asteroid is an ellipse whose standard equation is
Given information:
The conic,
Calculation:
Rewrite the equation
Note that for the equation
Since
Now, rewrite the conic in standard form.
Therefore, the standard equation of the conic is
The ellipse has the center at
From the equation, the ellipse has center at
Plot the center, vertices and covertices and then draw the ellipse.
