OBJECTIVES:
(a) to illustrate the different types of conic sections:
circle, parabola, ellipse, hyperbola & degenerate
cases.
(b) to determine the standard form of equation of a
circle.
(c) to develop perseverance and accuracy
Lesson
Overview of the Different Conic
1 Sections
i. Circle
A circle is formed a conic section which is formed when the
plane of is horizontal as it intersects the cone.
REAL LIFE EXAMPLES OF CIRCLE
ii. Parabola
A parabola is formed when the plane intersects only cone to form
a an unbounded curve.
EAL LIFE EXAMPLES OF PARABOL
iii. Ellipse
An ellipse is formed when the (tilted) plane intersects only one
cone to form . Circle is a special ellipse
REAL LIFE EXAMPLES OF ELLIPSE
iv. Hyperbola
Hyperbola, also a conic section, is formed when the plane
(not necessarily vertical) intersects both cones to form two
unbounded curves (each called a branch of the hyperbola).
AL LIFE EXAMPLES OF HYPERBO
v. Degenerate Cases
A point, one line, and two lines are also formed when a plane and
cone intersect. They are referred to as degenerate cases.
Lesson
2 Circle
Circle is a set of all points in a plane which are equidistant from
a given point C in the plane.
P
T The fixed- point C is called the center of the circle, and the
distance of the edge (line CT & line CP) of the circle is called
C radius.
If the center of the circle is on the origin, then h = 0 and k = 0 .
The standard equation is x² + y² = r²
Standard equation of the circle with center C (h,k) and radius, r
is (x – h )² + (y – k )² = r²
General form of the equation of the circle is
Ax² + By² + Cx + Dy + E = 0, A≠0
A circle with center (h,k) and tangent to a line, Ax+By+C = 0, the
radius r, can be computed using distance formula between a point
and a line: r=d=
The coordinates of the midpoint between two points
and can be determined using the formula :
Distance Formula:
A. In each item, give the standard equation of the circle satisfying
the given conditions.
(1) center at the origin, radius 4
(2) center (−4; 3), radius
(3) circle A in Figure 1.9
(4) circle B in Figure 1.9
(5) center (5,−6), tangent to the y-axis
(6) center (5,−6), tangent to the x-axis
(7) has a diameter with endpoints A(−1, 4) and B(4, 2)
Seatwork/Homework:
(1) center at the origin, radius
(2) center (−6,7 )tangent to the y-axis
(3) has a diameter with endpoints
A(−3, 2) and B(7, 4)
