Explain how to use \(y^{2}=8 x\) to find the parabola's focus and directrix.
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. In a whispering gallery at our science museum, I stood at one focus, my friend stood at the other focus, and we had a clear conversation, very little of which was heard by the 25 museum visitors standing between us.
Describe a strategy for graphing \(r=\frac{1}{1+\sin \theta}\)
a. Identify the conic section that each polarequation represents. b. Describe the location of a directrix from the focus located at the pole. $$ r=\frac{12}{2-4 \cos \theta} $$
Use a graphing utility to graph the equation. Then answer the given question. Use the polar equation for planetary orbits, $$ r=\frac{\left(1-e^{2}\right) a}{1-e \cos \theta} $$ to find the polar equation of the orbit for Mercury and Earth. Mercury: \(e=0.2056\) and \(a=36.0 \times 10^{6}\) miles Earth: \(\quad e=0.0167\) and \(a=92.96 \times 10^{6}\) miles Use a graphing utility to graph both orbits in the same viewing rectangle. What do you see about the orbits from their graphs that is not obvious from their equations?
