Mathematics 116Bittinger • Chapter 7 • Conics
Mathematics 116 • Conics • A conic is the intersection of a plane an a double-napped cone.
Degenerate Conic • Degenerate conic – plane passes through the vertex • Point • Line • Two intersecting lines
Definition of Conic • Locus (collection) of points satisfying a certain geometric property.
Circle • A circle is the set of all points (x,y) that are equidistant from a fixed point (h,k) • The fixed point is the center. • The fixed distance is the radius
Algebraic def of Circle • Center is (h,k) • Radius is r
Def: Parabola • A parabola is the set of all points (x,y) that are equidistant from a fixed line, the directrix, and a fixed point, the focus, not on the line.
Standard Equation of ParabolaVertex at Origin • Vertex at (0,0) • Directrix y = -p • Vertical axis of symmetry
Standard Equation of ParabolaOpening left and right • Vertex: (0,0O • Directrix: x = -p • Axis of symmetry is horizontal
Willa Cather – U.S. novelist (1873-1947) • “The higher processes are all simplification.”
Definition: Ellipse • An ellipse is the set of all points (x,y), the sum of whose distances from two distinct points (foci) is a constant.
Standard Equation of EllipseCenter at Origin • Major or focal axis is horizontal
Standard Equation of EllipseCenter at Origin • Focal axis is vertical
Definition: hyperbola • A hyperbola is the set of all points (x,y) in a plane, the difference whose distances from two distinct fixed points (foci) is a positive constant.
Standard Equation of Hyperbolaopening up and downcentered at origin
Objective – Conics centered at origin • Recognize, graph and write equations of • Circle • Parabola • Ellipse • Hyperbola • Find focal points
Rose Hoffman – elementary schoolteacher • “Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life.”
Mathematics 116 • Translations • Of • Conics
Circle • Center at (h,k) radius = r
Objective • Recognize equations of conics that have been shifted vertically and/or horizontally in the plane.
Objective • Find the standard form of a conic – circle, parabola, ellipse, or hyperbola given general algebraic equation.
Example • Determine standard form – sketch • Find domain, range, focal points
Example - problem • Determine standard form – sketch • Find domain, range, focal points
Winston Churchill • “It’s not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what’s required.”
