A. Identify if the following equations in general form represents a conic or a

degenerate conic by putting a check mark on the column with C if conic and DC B. Complete the table below by providing either the properties (radius and center),
if degenerate conic. If conic, write on the last column the specific type of conic graph, or equation of a circle (standard form or general form). Show your
section being illustrated. Answers without a clear and complete solution will be complete solution in the provided box. [14 points]
considered incorrect. [10 points]

Earth is represented on a map of a portion of the solar system so that its surface is
the circle with equation 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 2𝑥 + 4𝑦 − 4091 = 0. A weather satellite circles 0.6-
unit above Earth with the center of its circular orbit at the center of Earth. Find the
equation for the orbit of the satellite on this map.

Solution:
