Understanding Conic Sections and Circles

Conic Sections
• In Mathematics, a conic section (or simply conic) is the intersection of a
plane and a double-napped cone. However, in analytic geometry, a conic may
be defined as a plane algebraic curve of degree two.

• There are four types of conic sections: circle (special kind of ellipse when
the tilted plane turned horizontal), ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola. None of
the intersections will pass through the vertices of the cone

• ?? When the center and radius of the circle are given, you can easily form the
equation of a circle in the standard form because it provides you with all
you need to know about the equation of the circle ?
Examples;
1. A circle with center ( ) is tangent to the y-axis. What is the radius,

Because the circle is tangent to the y-axis, therefore, the y-axis is
perpendicular to the radius. The center of the circle is units away from the 5

Solution: to establish this equation, you are required to know its center and
radius. Since the given are the endpoints of the diameter it follows that the
center will be at the midpoint and the radius will be the distance from the center
to either of the two endpoints
The midpoint can be calculated using the midpoint formula: Find the midpoint
between the endpoints A and B

Parabola
• Two-dimensional curve that is obtained from a cone when it is cut obliquely
by a plane
• A parabola is defined as the set of all points (x,y) in a plane equidistant
from a fixed point called focus and from a fixed line called directrix

passing through
and perpendicular to directrix

• Note that a parabola is symmetric with respect to its axis. Using the

Ellipse
Set of all points (x,y) in a plane such that the sum of the distances from any point
in the ellipse to two other fixed points is constant. The two fixed points are called
the foci (plural of focus) of the ellipse
Foci - the two fixed points on the major axis of an ellipse such that the sum of
the distances from these points to any point (x,y) on the ellipse is constant
Center - the point halfway between the foci
Major axis - the line segment containing the foci of an ellipse with both
endpoints on the ellipse
Minor axis - the line segment perpendicular to the major axis and passing
through the center, with both endpoints on the ellipse
Vertices - the endpoints of the major axis
Covertices - the endpoints of the minor axis
Latus Rectum - the chord of the ellipse through its one focus and perpendicular
to the major axis

Equations
it is a system of equations where at least one of the equations is nonlinear
solutiOn is an ordered pair that satisfies each of the given equations
how to solve using substitution?
• Identify the graph of each equation. Sketch the possible options for
intersection.
• Solve one of the equations for either variable.
• Substitute the expression from Step two into the other equation.
• Solve the resulting equation.
• Substitute each solution in Step four into one of the original equations to
find the other variable.
• Write each solution as an ordered pair.
• check that each ordered pair is a solution to both original equations

Sequence and Series
Sequence is a function whose domain is the set of positive integers. It also means
an ordered list of numbers.
A sequence is infinite if its domain is the set of positive integers without a last
term , { ,...}. The three dots show that the sequence goes on and on
