In a solar system, two comets pass near the sun, which is located at the origin. Comet E is modeled by quantity y plus 16 end quantity squared over 400 plus x squared over 144 equals 1 and Comet H is modeled by quantity y plus 13 end quantity squared over 144 minus x squared over 25 equals 1 comma where all measurements are in astronomical units.
