Sketch the graph of the ellipse \(\ds \frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1\) and determine its foci. Let \(C\) be the conic which consists of all points \(P=(x,y)\) such ...

Again for the return trip, the trajectory is approximated by an ellipse. For each of the three parts, the assumption is made that only one gravitational center is active at a time. The resulting orbit ...
