Pre-Calculus: Analytic Geometry Basics

This document provides an overview of pre-calculus topics including analytic geometry, series and sequences, and trigonometry. It then focuses on analytic geometry, specifically coordinate geometry and conic sections. Conic sections are curves formed by the intersection of a plane and a double cone, including circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. The topic has its origins in the works of ancient Greek mathematicians Menaechmus and Apollonius, who studied the properties and named the different conic section curves.

HISTORY
Conic sections is one of the oldest
math subject studied.
The conics were discovered by
Greek mathematician Menaechmus
(c. 375-325 BC)
Menaechmus’s intelligence was

highly regarded. He tutored
Alexander the Great.
HISTORY
Apollonius (c. 262-190 BC) wrote
about conics in his series of books
simply titled “Conic Sections”.
Apollonius’ nickname was “the Great
Geometer”
He was the first to base the theory of
all three conics on sections of one
circular
.
cone.
He is also the one to give the name
“ellipse”, “parabola”, and
“hyperbola”.
INTRODUCTION TO CONIC SECTIONS
A conic section is a curve formed by the
intersection of a plane and a double
cone
Slicing the double-napped cone can also
result in the formation of a point, a straight
line, or a pair of straight lines. These
.
geometric figures are called the
degenerate conics.
When a double-napped cone is sliced into sections by a plane,
curves known as the conic sections or conics are formed
