3 Conics A conic section is the intersection of a plane and a double-napped cone.

4 Quick Algebra Review Completing the Square Examples x 2 + 6x = 5 x 2 + 6x + = 5 x 2 + 6x + 9 = Add half of middle term squared to both sides x = 14 Factor the trinomial to a squared binomial x 2 + y 2 + 5x 8y = 1 x 2 + 5x + +y 2 8y + = 1 Rearrange equation to group like variables x 2 + 5x y2 8y + 16 = Add 1 2 middle term sqrd with both variables x y 4 2 = 93 4 Factor both trinomials to squared binomials

5 Conic Sections - Algebra All conic sections can be displayed as a general algebraic equation: Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 Each conic section can also be defined as a locus (collection) of points satisfying a certain geometric property. For example: (a standard circle equation) x h 2 + y k 2 = r 2

6 Parabolas f x = ax 2 + bx + c This is a standard quadratic equation of a parabola that opens up or down. A Parabola is the set of all points (x, y) in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed line, the directrix, and a fixed point, the focus, not on the line. The midpoint between the focus and the directrix is the vertex, and the line passing through the focus and the vertex is the axis of the parabola. *picture on next slide*

9 Standard Equation of a Parabola The standard form of an equation of a parabola with vertex at (h, k) is x h 2 = 4p y k, p 0 vertical axis; directrix at y = k p y k 2 = 4p x h, p 0 horizontal axis; directrix at x = h p The focus lies on the axis p units (directed distance) from the vertex. If the vertex is at the origin (0,0), the equation takes one of the following forms: x 2 = 4py y 2 = 4px Vertical Axis Horizontal Axis

10 Example 1 Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with vertex at the origin and focus (0,4). x 2 = 4py

12 Example 3 Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with vertex (1,0) and focus at (2,0). y k 2 = 4p x h

13 Example 4 Find the vertex, focus, and directrix of the parabola and sketch its graph. x y = 0 x 2 = 4py y 2 + 8y 6x = 2 y k 2 = 4p x h

24 Standard Equation of an Ellipse The standard equation with center (h, k) and major and minor axes of lengths 2a and 2b, respectively, where 0 < b < a, is x h 2 a 2 + y k 2 b 2 = 1 Major axis is horizontal x h 2 b 2 + y k 2 a 2 = 1 Major axis is vertical The foci lie on the major axis, c units from the center, with c 2 = a 2 b 2.

37 Conic Sections

38 Definition of a Hyperbola A hyperbola is the set of all points (x, y) in a plane, the difference of whose distances from two distinct fixed points (foci) is a positive constant.

39 Standard Equation of a Hyperbola The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with center at (h, k) is x h 2 a 2 y k 2 a 2 y k 2 b 2 = 1 Transverse axis is horizontal x h 2 b 2 = 1 Transverse axis is vertical The vertices are a units from the center, and the foci are c units from the center. Moreover, c 2 = a 2 + b 2. If the center of the hyperbola is at the origin (0,0), the equation takes one of the following forms. x 2 a y 2 a 2 y2 b 2 x2 b 2 = 1 2 = 1 Horizontal transversal Vertical transversal

40 Horizontal vs Vertical

41 Example 1 Finding the Equation Find the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola with foci ( 1,2) and (5,2) and vertices (0,2) and (4,2).

42 Asymptotes of a Hyperbola Each hyperbola has two asymptotes that intersect at the center of the hyperbola. Asymptotes may be found by using the following formulas: y = k ± b a (x h) and y = k ± a b (x h) Horizontal Vertical

43 Example 2 Sketch a graph Sketch the hyperbola whose equation is 4x 2 y 2 = 16. y = k ± b (x h) a and y = k ± a (x h) b

44 Example 3 Finding the Asymptotes Sketch the hyperbola given by 4x 2 3y 2 + 8x + 16 = 0 and find the equation of the asymptotes.

45 Example 4 Using asymptotes Find the standard form of the equation of the hyperbola having vertices (3, 5) and (3,1) and having asymptotes at y = 2x 8 and y = 2x + 4

46 Applications The hyperbolic shape of a sonic boom

47 Applications Comets that pass through our solar system once follow a hyperbolic path with the sun as a focus.

48 Applications

50 Example 7 Application Two microphones, 1 mile apart, record an explosion. Microphone A receives the sound 2 seconds before microphone B. Where did the explosion occur? 1 mile = 5280 feet speed of sound = 1100 ft/sec Answer: x y = 1 somewhere on left branch

51 Eccentricity of a Hyperbola As with ellipses, the eccentricity of hyperbolas is e = c a If the eccentricity is large, the branches of the hyperbola are nearly flat. If the eccentricity is close to 1, then the branches of the hyperbola are more pointed.

58 9.5 Parametric Equations What You ll Learn: Evaluate sets of parametric equations for given values of the parameter. Graph curves that are represented by sets of parametric equations. Rewrite sets of parametric equations as single rectangular equations by eliminating the parameter. Find sets of parametric equations for graphs.

59 Definition of a Plane Curve In addition to the (x, y) variable, we will have a third variable, t (usually used to represent time) called a parameter. x = f(t) y = g(t) The (x, y) are dependent on the parameter. Instead of x, y, its (f t, g t ) The x and y coordinates are functions with respect to t

60 Sketching a Plane Curve Example 1 x = t 2 4 y = 1 2 t 2 t 3 t x y

61 Example 2 Parametric Mode Use a graphing utility to graph the curves in parametric mode. 1. x = t 2, y = t 3 2. x = t, y = t 3 3. x = t 2, y = t

62 Eliminating the Parameter Many graphs that are represented in parametric form can also be represented by rectangular equations (in x and y). Steps to eliminate the parameter: #1 solve for t in either equation (x or y) #2 substitute equation found in step 1 into the other equation You may have to alter the domain of the resulting equation to match the graph of the original parametric equation.

63 Example Eliminate the Parameter x = t 2 4 y = 1 2 t Use substitution to re-write as an x and y equation with no t.

64 Example Eliminate the Parameter Identify the curve and eliminate the parameter. x = 1 t+1 and y = t t+1

65 Example Eliminate the Parameter Sketch the curve represented by x = 3 cos θ and y = 4 sin θ, 0 θ 2π, by eliminating the parameter.

66 Example Eliminate the Parameter Sketch the curve represented by x = 3 sec θ and y = 4 tan θ, 0 θ 2π, by eliminating the parameter.

72 Example 2 Multiple Representations Plot the point (6, 3π ) and find three additional polar 4 representations of this point, using 2π < θ < 2π.

73 Coordinate Conversion (r, θ) can be converted to rectangular coordinates (x, y) and vice versa. To convert polar rect x = r cos θ y = r sin θ To convert rect polar tan θ = y x or θ = tan 1 y x x 2 + y 2 = r 2
