Question 59

Multiple Choice

Solve.
-A planet's orbit about the Sun can be described as an ellipse. Consider the Sun as the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. Suppose that the x-intercepts of the elliptical path of the planet are ±139,000,000\pm 139,000,000 and that the yy -intercepts are ±124,000,000\pm 124,000,000 . Write the equation of the elliptical path of the planet.


A) x21.5376×1016+y21.9321×1016=1\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 1.5376 \times 10 ^ { 16 } } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 1.9321 \times 10 ^ { 16 } } = 1
B) x21.39×108+y21.24×108=1\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 1.39 \times 10 ^ { 8 } } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 1.24 \times 10 ^ { 8 } } = 1
C) x21.9321×1016+y21.5376×1016=1\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 1.9321 \times 10 ^ { 16 } } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 1.5376 \times 10 ^ { 16 } } = 1
D) x21.24×108+y21.39×108=1\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 1.24 \times 10 ^ { 8 } } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 1.39 \times 10 ^ { 8 } } = 1
