    1. Conic sections are shapes formed by the intersection of a plane and a right cone. The main types are circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. 2. A circle is a conic section formed when the plane cuts the cone perpendicular to its axis. It can be defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point, called the center. 3. The standard form equation of a circle is (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2, where (h, k) are the coordinates of the center and r is the radius. This defines all points whose distance from the center is r

    INTRODUCTION TO

    CONIC SECTIONS AND CIRCLES


    Learning Objectives
    1. illustrate the different types of conic sections: parabola,
    ellipse, circle, hyperbola, and degenerate cases
    2. define a circle
    3. determine the equation of a circle in standard form
    4. sketch a circle in a rectangular coordinate system
    CONIC SECTIONS

    -is the intersection of a right


    cone and a plane. If a plane is
    sliced through a right cone in
    different angles, a particular
    conic section is derived.
    Conic Sections

    Hyperbola Parabola Ellipse


    CONIC SECTIONS
    - can be represented by the equation:

    Ax + Bx + Cx + Dy + E = 0
    2 2

    where A,B,C,D and E are real numbers and


    A and B are both nonzero.
    Recall
    Given two distinct points P() and Q()
    Slope of segment PQ

    Distance between P and Q

    Midpoint of segment PQ
    CIRCLE

    -is formed when a


    plane cuts the cone
    perpendicular to its
    axis.
    Circles
    locus of all points in the plane
    having the same fixed positive distance, from a fixed point
    radius center

    Equation of a Circle in Standard Form


    with center C(h,k) and r > 0
    Find an equation of the circle with the following conditions:
    1. Center is at C(2,-5) and radius is 3:

    2. Has a diameter whose endpoints are A(3,4) and B(-3,12)


    Center of the circle is midpoint of AB:

    Radius of the circle is half the diameter:

    Thus, the equation of the circle is:


    Equation of a Circle in General Form

    Example: Sketch the graph of + + 10x – 2y = 55


    Transform the equation into center-radius form:

    C(-5,1)
    radius: 9
    Determining When an Equation
    Yields a Circle
    The graph of the equation
    1. the circle centered at
    with radius
    if > 0
    2. the single point if
    3. the empty set if
