    7.5 Conic Section, Mat 2280: Circle

    Uploaded by

    Olivier Uwamahoro
    This document provides information about different types of conic sections (circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas), including their defining properties and equations. It gives examples of each with the steps to identify which type of conic section a given equation represents. Key properties discussed include the signs and values of coefficients in the equations, and how these relate to features like the shape, center, foci, and directrixes of each conic section type. The document concludes with practice problems identifying conic sections from given equations.

    5 CONIC SECTION, MAT 2280

    Circle
    (𝑥 − ℎ) + (𝑦 − 𝑘)2 = 𝑟 2
    2

    X and Y terms are both squared


    The coefficients of squared terms have same sign and value
    Example 1. 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 8𝑥 + 10𝑦 = −32
    Parabolas

    Only one term is squared.

    If x-term is squared it opens in the y-direction.


    P is positive it opens in the positive direction.
    P is negative it opens in the negative direction.

    If y- term is squared it opens in the x-direction.


    P is positive it opens in the positive direction.
    P is negative it opens in the negative direction.

    Vertex at the point (ℎ, 𝑘)

    Distance from the vertex to the focus is p units.

    Distance from the vertex to the directrix is p units.


    Example 2. 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 − 8𝑦 − 7 = 0
    Ellipse
    x and y terms are both squares.

    coefficients of squared terms have same sign but different values.

    Center at (ℎ, 𝑘)

    Distance from center to vertex point in the x-direction equals a.

    Distance from the center to vertex point in y-direction equals b.

    Distance from the center to focus points equals c. where 𝑐 2 = 𝑎2 − 𝑏 2 or 𝑐 2 = 𝑏 2 − 𝑎2

    Example 3. 9𝑥 2 + 16𝑦 2 − 54𝑥 + 64𝑦 = −1


    Hyperbola
    x and y terms are squared.

    The coefficients have different signs.

    If 𝑥 2 term is positive, then it opens in the x-direction.

    If 𝑦 2 term is positive, then it opens in the y-direction.

    Center at (ℎ, 𝑘)

    The distance from center to vertex points is qualed to a.

    The distance from center to focus points is equaled to c, where 𝑐 2 = 𝑎2 + 𝑏 2

    Example 4. 9𝑥 2 − 16𝑦 2 − 36𝑥 + 96𝑦 = 252


    Example 5. Identify the following as either a Circle, Ellipse, Parabola, or Hyperbola.

    1. 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 10𝑥 − 4𝑦 = −4

    2. 9𝑥 2 + 4𝑦 2 − 18𝑥 + 24𝑦 = −9

    3. 25𝑥 2 − 4𝑦 2 + 50𝑥 + 8𝑦 = 79

    4. 4𝑦 2 − 4𝑦 − 48𝑥 − 47 = 0

    5. 3𝑥 2 + 2𝑦 2 + 24𝑥 + 4𝑦 = −44

    6. 𝑥 2 + 6𝑥 − 16𝑦 − 23 = 0

    7. 12𝑦 2 − 16𝑥 2 − 12𝑦 − 32𝑥 = 61

    8. 4𝑥 2 + 4𝑦 2 − 4𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 14
