Theorem 2.4
If (x, y) represents a point P with respect to a given set of axes, and
(x0, y0) is a representation of P after the axes are translated to a new origin
having coordinates (h, k) with respect to the given axes, then
x = x0 + h and y = y0 + k
⇐⇒ x0 = x − h and y0 = y − k.
.
Theorem 2.5
If p is the directed distance from the vertex to the focus, an equation of
the parabola with its vertex at (h, k) and with its axis parallel to the x axis is
(y − k)2 = 4p(x − h).
A parabola with the same vertex and with its axis parallel to the y axis has
for an equation
(x − h)2 = 4p(y − k).
Theorem 2.6

Theorem 2.9

Theorem 2.16
If in general second-degree equation
Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0
B = 0 and AC < 0, then the graph is either a hyperbola or two interesting
lines.
Theorem 2.17
The graph of the equation
Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0
where A and C are not both zero, is either a conic or a degenerate conic; if it
is a conic, then the graph is
i. a parabola if either A = 0 or C = 0, that is, if AC = 0;
ii. an ellipse if A and C have the same sign that is, if AC > 0;
iii. a hyperbola if A and C have opposite signs, that is, if AC < 0.
If x = f (t) and y = y(t) where t is called a parameter then we say that the
two equations form a set of parametric equations.
The graph of parametric equations is the set of points in the xy-plane which
we get when t takes in all possible values in the domain S of f and g.
The t scale is completely separate and does not appear in the graph.
