1. A planet moves in an elliptical orbit around its sun. The closest the planet gets to the sun is approximately \(10\) AU and the furthest is approximately \(30\) AU. The sun is one of the foci of the elliptical orbit. Letting the ellipse center at the origin and labeling the axes in AU, the orbit will look like the figure below. Use the graph to write an equation for the elliptical orbit of the planet.
2. A planet moves in an elliptical orbit around its sun. The closest the planet gets to the sun is approximately \(10\) AU and the furthest is approximately \(70\) AU. The sun is one of the foci of the elliptical orbit. Letting the ellipse center at the origin and labeling the axes in AU, the orbit will look like the figure below. Use the graph to write an equation for the elliptical orbit of the planet.
3. A comet moves in an elliptical orbit around a sun. The closest the comet gets to the sun is approximately \(15\) AU and the furthest is approximately \(85\) AU. The sun is one of the foci of the elliptical orbit. Letting the ellipse center at the origin and labeling the axes in AU, the orbit will look like the figure below. Use the graph to write an equation for the elliptical orbit of the comet.
4. A comet moves in an elliptical orbit around a sun. The closest the comet gets to the sun is approximately \(15\) AU and the furthest is approximately \(95\) AU. The sun is one of the foci of the elliptical orbit. Letting the ellipse center at the origin and labeling the axes in AU, the orbit will look like the figure below. Use the graph to write an equation for the elliptical orbit of the comet.
