The moon’s orbit about Earth, while not exactly circular, is somewhat circular. the average distance from Earth’s surface to the surface of the moon is 384,400 km and the radius of Earth is 6378 km. Determine an equation in standard form that models the moon’s orbit about Earth if the center of Earth is located at the origin.

1) Where is the location of the center of Earth?

2) Determine the center of the moon’s orbit.

3) Determine the radius of the moon’s orbit.

4) Determine the equation of the moon’s orbit.
