• An explosion was heard by two
stations 1200 m apart, located at F1(
600; 0) and F2 (600; 0). If the
explosion was heard in F1two seconds
before it was heard in F2, identify the
possible locations of the explosion.
Use 340 m/s as the speed of sound.
• When the graphs of two different linear functions
intersect, they intersect at a single point. The
coordinates of the point can be determined by
solving a system of linear equations. On the other
hand, if one or both of the graphs are not linear
(for example, a conic section), there may be more
than one point of intersection. The system of
equations may be more than one point of
intersection. The system of equations that need to
be solved is then described as nonlinear .
A decorative glass pane above
a doorway is constructed in the
shape of the upper of an ellipse.
The glass pane has a width of
80 inches at the bottom base
and a height of 20 inches at its
center. Find the height of the
glass pane 15 inches to the right
of the center.
•A decorative glass pane above
the window is constructed in the
shape of the upper half of an
ellipse. The glass pane has a
width of 60 inches at the
bottom base and a height of
15 inches at is center. Find the
height of the glass pane 20
iinches to the right of the center.
•A bridge is built in the
shape of a semi-elliptical
arch an dhas a span of 120
ft. the height of the arch at
a distance of 30 ft from the
center is 15 ft. Find the
height of the arch
A tunnel has the shape of a
semiellipse that is 15 ft high at the
center, and 36 ft across at the
base. At most how high should a
passing truck be, if it is 12 ft wide,
for it to be able to fit through the
tunnel? Round off your answer to
two decimal places.
The arch of a bridge is in the shape
of a semiellipse, with its major axis
at the water level. Suppose the arch
is 20 ft high in the middle, and 120
ft across its major axis. How high
above the water level is the arch, at
a point 20 ft from the center
(horizontally)? Round off to 2
decimal places
• An orbit of a satellite around a planet
is an ellipse, with the planet at one
focus of this ellipse. The distance of
the satellite from this star varies from
300, 000 km to 500, 000 km,
attained when the satellite is at each
of the two vertices. Find the equation
of this ellipse, if its center is at the
origin, and the vertices are on the x-
axis. Assume all units are in 100, 000
km.
Planet Earth comes closest to the Sun at
147 million km, and the farthest from
the sun at 153 million km. Thus, its orbit
is an ellipse fro which the two vertices
are 147 and 153 units away from a
particular focus, the sun. Assume the unit
is a million km. Find the equation of the
ellipse, assuming the major axis is
horizontal and the center is at origin.
The distance of Jupiter from the
sun ranges from 741 million km
to 817 million km. find the
equation of its elliptical orbit
where the sun is one of the foci.
Assume again that the center is
the origin and its major axis is
the x- axis.
• The distance of the moon, as it
orbits around the Earth, ranges
from 363 thousand km to 405
thousand km. if its orbit is an
ellipse with the Earth at a focus,
find the equation of this ellipse.
Assume the ellipse has vertical
major axis and the center at the
origin.
1.) The dome of a whispering gallery has the
form of a semi- ellipse so that two persons
standing at the foci will be able to hear each
other. This is because sound waves from one focus,
when they reach the semi- elliptical ceiling,
bounce off to the other focus. If one such
whispering gallery has a focus 3 m from the end
of the se- ellipse, and the other focus is 14 m
away from the same end, how high is the dome at
the center?
2.) The ceiling of a whispering gallery
is in semi- elliptical shape. Two people
standing at the foci can hear each
other whisper, since sound coming from
any focus bounces off the ceiling to the
other focus. If the gallery is 30 ft across
and 10 ft high at the center, how far
apart are the two points where two
people should stand to hear each other
whisper?
3.)A room’s ceiling is in the shape
of a semi- ellipse. Suppose the
room is 40 ft wide and 18 ft
high. How far from the end
should two people stand so they
can hear each other whisper
4.) An archway that is above
a highway is in the shape of
a semi- ellipse 80 ft wide
and 25 ft high. How high is
the archway 10 ft away from
the center?
