A satellite is to be put into an elliptical orbit around a moon. The moon is a sphere with radius 165
km. Determine an equation for the ellipse, where x and y are measured in km, if the distance of the
satellite from the surface of the moon varies from 238 km to 322 km.
Identify the graph of the equation as a parabola, circle, ellipse, or hyperbola.

In 1979, City #1 and City #2 had the same population. The population of City #2 continued to
increase steadily, while the rate of population growth of City #1 (although initially less than that of
City #2) eventually overtook the growth rate of City #2. The populations of two cities are modeled
by the following equations: City #1: y = 2x2+ 15x +1031; City #2: y = 25x +1031, where x = 0
corresponds to the year 1979. In what year after 1979 did the cities have the same population?
