  1. 10.1 Conic Sections and Parabolas

  2. Quick Review

  3. Quick Review Solutions

  4. What you’ll learn about • Conic Sections • Geometry of a Parabola • Translations of Parabolas • Reflective Property of a Parabola … and why Conic sections are the paths of nature: Any free-moving object in a gravitational field follows the path of a conic section.

  5. Parabola A parabola is the set of all points in a plane equidistant from a particular line (the directrix) and a particular point (the focus) in the plane.

  6. A Right Circular Cone (of two nappes)

  7. Conic Sections and Degenerate Conic Sections

  8. Conic Sections and Degenerate Conic Sections (cont’d)

  9. Second-Degree (Quadratic) Equations in Two Variables

  10. Structure of a Parabola

  11. Graphs of x2=4py

  12. Parabolas with Vertex (0,0) • Standard equation x2 = 4pyy2 = 4px • Opens Upward or To the Right Downword or to the left • Focus (0,p) (p,0) • Directrix y = -px = -p • Axis y-axis x-axis • Focal length p p • Focal width |4p| |4p|

  13. Graphs of y2 = 4px

  14. Example Finding an Equation of a Parabola

  15. Example Finding an Equation of a Parabola

  16. Parabolas with Vertex (h,k) • Standard equation (x-h)2 = 4p(y-k) (y-k)2 = 4p(x-h) • Opens Upward or downward To the right or to the left • Focus (h,k+p) (h+p,k) • Directrix y = k-px = h-p • Axis x = h y = k • Focal length pp • Focal width |4p| |4p|
