The verte of the reflecting hperbol is 110 feet bove the verte for the prbol. Introduce coordinte sstem b using the is of the prbol s the is (up positive), nd let the is pss through the center of the hperbol (right positive). Wht is the eqution of the reflecting hperbol? Write in terms of. (b) SECTION 9-4 Trnsltion of Aes Trnsltion of Aes Stndrd Equtions of Trnslted Conics Grphing Equtions of the Form A 2 C 2 D E F 0 Finding Equtions of Conics In the lst three sections we found stndrd equtions for prbols, ellipses, nd hperbols locted with their es on the coordinte es nd centered reltive to the origin. Wht hppens if we move conics w from the origin while keeping their es prllel to the coordinte es? We will show tht we cn obtin new stndrd equtions tht re specil cses of the eqution A 2 C 2 D E F 0, where A nd C re not both zero. The bsic mthemticl tool used in this endevor is trnsltion of es. The usefulness of trnsltion of es is not limited to grphing conics, however. Trnsltion of es cn be put to good use in mn other grphing situtions. Trnsltion of Aes A trnsltion of coordinte es occurs when the new coordinte es hve the sme direction s nd re prllel to the originl coordinte es. To see how coordintes in the originl sstem re chnged when moving to the trnslted sstem, nd vice vers, refer to Figure 1. FIGURE 1 Trnsltion of coordintes. P(, ) P(, ) 0 (0, 0) (0, 0) (h, k) 0

2 640 9 Additionl Topics in Anltic Geometr A point P in the plne hs two sets of coordintes: (, ) in the originl sstem nd (, ) in the trnslted sstem. If the coordintes of the origin of the trnslted sstem re (h, k) reltive to the originl sstem, then the old nd new coordintes re relted s given in Theorem 1. Theorem 1 Trnsltion Formuls 1. h 2. h k k It cn be shown tht these formuls hold for (h, k) locted nwhere in the originl coordinte sstem. EXAMPLE 1 Eqution of Curve in Trnslted Sstem A curve hs the eqution ( 4) 2 ( 1) 2 36 If the origin is trnslted to (4, 1), find the eqution of the curve in the trnslted sstem nd identif the curve. Solution Since (h, k) (4, 1), use trnsltion formuls h 4 k 1 to obtin, fter substitution, This is the eqution of circle of rdius 6 with center t the new origin. The coordintes of the new origin in the originl coordinte sstem re (4, 1) (Fig. 2). Note tht this result grees with our generl tretment of the circle in Section 3-1. FIGURE 2 ( 4) 2 ( 1) A(4, 1) 10

Stndrd Equtions of Trnslted Conics We now proceed to find stndrd equtions of conics trnslted w from the origin. We do this b first writing the stndrd equtions found in erlier sections in the coordinte sstem with 0 t (h, k). We then use trnsltion equtions to find the stndrd forms reltive to the originl coordinte sstem.

If we cn trnsform eqution (1) into one of the stndrd forms in Tble 1, then we will be ble to identif its grph nd sketch it rther quickl. The process of completing the squre discussed in Section 2-6 will be our primr tool in ccomplishing this trnsformtion. A couple of emples should help mke the process cler.
