Ch. 9 Objective: Understand and identify basic characteristics of conics. Conic section (conic): What you get (the intersection)when you cross a plane and a double-napped cone. 4 Basic Conics: Vertex Axis
ELLIPSE: The plane is slightly tilted so it’s no longer perpendicular to the axis. CIRCLE: The plane is exactly perpendicular to the cone’s axis.
PARABOLA: Keep tilting so that the plane is now exactly parallel to the side of the top cone. (Parabola occurs because one side of the ellipse sort of falls off.)
HYPERBOLA: Keep tilting so that the plane is now slicing though both the top and bottom parts of the cone.
CONICS (Pre/Calc Style): Conic: A __________________of points satisfying a certain geometric property. Ex: A circle is the locus of all points equidistant from a fixed center point.
9.1 Parabolas Parabola (Conical Definition): The set of all points (x, y) in a plane that are __________ from a fixed line, the _______(parallel to the x or y-axis), and a fixed point (not on the line), called the _________. ________ The midpoint between the focus and the directrix. (h, k) ________ The line passing through the focus and the vertex.
If the axis is _____________________ (x is squared): Standard form of the equation of a parabola with vertex at (h, k) pis the ____________________(can be positive or negative) from the vertex to the focus Note: p≠0 V F F V P _______ P _____ Vertex: ___________ Focus: ___________ Axis of Symmetry: ________ Directrix: __________
Standard form of the equation of a parabola with vertex at (h, k) If the axis is ________________ __________(y is squared) p is the directed distance (can be positive or negative) from the vertex to the focus Note: p≠0 V F F V P _____ P _____ Vertex: ___________ Focus: ___________ Axis of Symmetry: _________ Directrix: _________
