Your mission is to track incoming meteors to predict whether or not they will strike Earth. Since Earth has a circular cross section, you decide to set up a coordinate system with its origin at Earth's center. The equation of Earth's surface is a + y = 40.68, where x and y are distances in thousands of kilometers. You observe a meteor moving along a path from left to right whose equation is 240 289 (y-14)x = 60, where y 5.5. What conic section does the path of the meteor travel? The meteor's path is a(n) What is the center of the conic section that describes the path of the meteor? ( Determine if the meteor will strike the earth and if it does strike the earth at what point. If the meteor doesn't strike the earth then enter NAN for the coordinate.
