Conic Sections Part 3:Parabolas Integrated Math 4 Mrs. Tyrpak
Review from Quadratics What do the following constants and coefficients tell us about each parabola?
Standard Form Vertex Rewrite the following functions in vertex form:
Secondary Definition for Parabolas A set of points in a plane such that each point on the parabola is equidistant from a fixed line and a fixed point that is not on that line. Focus Directrix
Find the equation of a parabola with focus F(0,c) and directrix y = -c Where is the vertex located? For what values of c is the vertex a maximum point? A minimum point?
Find the equation of a parabola with focus F(c,0) and directrix x = -c Is this equation a function? Where is the vertex located?
Applications: reflective properties • Headlight Reflectors: • Satellite receiving dishes
You know what I’m going to say! Awesome job!! Don’t forget to complete your extension and enrichment worksheets before you move on. Remember you are a mathematician
