Axis Axis Axis Axis Circle Ellipse Parabola Hyperbola Defn A circle is the set of points in the Cartesian plane that a fixed distance r from a fixed point (h, k) called the center. The fixed distance r is called the radius.

The point F is called the focus of the parabola, the line D is called its directrix. In other words, a parabola is the set of points P for which d(f, P) = d(p, D). Using the distance formula, we derive: Equations of a Parabola: Vertex at (0, 0); Focus on an Axis; a > 0 Vertex Focus Directrix Equation Description (0, 0) (a, 0) x = a y 2 = 4ax (0, 0) ( a, 0) x = a y 2 = 4ax (0, 0) (0, a) y = a x 2 = 4ay (0, 0) (0, a) y = a x 2 = 4ay Parabola, axis of symmetry is the x-axis; opens to the right Parabola, axis of symmetry is the x-axis; opens to the left Parabola, axis of symmetry is the y-axis; opens up Parabola, axis of symmetry is the y-axis; opens down Parabolas with Vertex at (h, k); Axis of Symmetry Parallel to a Coordinate Axis, a > 0 Vertex Focus Directrix Equation Description (h, k) (h + a, k) x = h a (y k) 2 = 4a(x h) (h, k) (h a, k) x = h + a (y k) 2 = 4a(x h) (h, k) (h, k + a) y = k a (x h) 2 = 4a(y k) (h, k) (h, k a) y = k + a (x h) 2 = 4a(y k) Parabola, axis of symmetry parallel to x-axis; opens to the right Parabola, axis of symmetry parallel to x-axis; opens to the left Parabola, axis of symmetry parallel to y-axis; opens up Parabola, axis of symmetry parallel to y-axis; opens down Page 3 of 9

Sec 9.4: Ellipses Defn An ellipse is the collection of all points in the plane such that the sum of the distances from two fixed points, called the foci, is a constant. Use cardboard, string, thumbtacks to physically construct an ellipse. The length of string is the constant, 2a. The line containing the foci is called the major axis. The midpoint of the line segment joining the foci is called the center. The line through the center perpendicular to the major axis is called the minor axis. The two points of intersection of the ellipse the major axis are the vertices, V 1 V 2, of the ellipse. The distance from one vertex to the other is called the length of the major axis. Note: We still study only ellipses whose major axis is parallel to (or coincides with) either the x- or y axis.

The line containing the foci is the transverse axis. The midpoint of the line segment joining the foci is the center of the hyperbola. The line through the center perpendicular to the transverse axis is the conjugate axis. The hyperbola consists of two separate curves called branches. The two points of intersection of the hyperbola transverse axis are the vertices, V 1 V 2, of the hyperbola. The positive constant = Page 6 of 9
