Algebra II Chapter 8 Conic Sections Cheat Sheet

Algebra II Chapter 8: Conic Sections

Cheat Sheet • In chapter 8 you are allowed a “cheat sheet” • You are to bring in a tissue box, that has not been opened, and cover it with paper. • You are allowed to write anything on this box that you so choose. • You may use it on your quiz and chapter test. • When we are done with Chapter 8, you must give the tissue box to me. • It is your decision to do this, you may not have any other form a “cheat sheet”

8. 1: Midpoint and Distance Formulas • Find the midpoint of a segment on the coordinate plane • Find the distance between two points on the coordinate plane

The Midpoint Formula • The midpoint is the point in the middle of a segment • Definition: M is the midpoint of PQ if M is between P and Q and PM = MQ. • Formula: •

Example 1: • Find the midpoint of each line segment with endpoints at the given coordinates: • (12, 7) and (-2, 11) • (-8, -3) and (10, 9) • (4, 15) and (10, 1) • (-3, -3) and (3, 3)

“Curveball Problem” Example 2: • Segment MN has a midpoint P. If M has coordinates (14, -3) and P has coordinates (8, 6), what are the coordinates of N? • Circle R has a diameter ST. If R has coordinates (-4, -8) and S has coordinates (1, 4), what are the coordinates of T?

“Curveball Problem” Example 2: • Circle Q has a diameter AB. If A is at ( -3, -5) and the center is at (2, 3), find the coordinates of the B.

The Distance Formula • Distance is always a positive number • You can find distance using the Pythagorean Theorem or using a formula derived from it • Formula: •

Example 3: • Find the distance between each pair of points with the given coordinates • (3, 7) and (-1, 4) • (-2, -10) and (10, -5) • (6, -6) and (-2, 0)

Example 4: • Rectangle ABCD has vertices A(1, 4), B(3, 1), C(-3, -2), and D(-5, 1). Find the perimeter and area of ABCD • Circle R has diameter ST with endpoints S(4, 5) and T(-2, -3). What are the circumference and are of the circle? (Round to two decimal places)

Summary: • Learn the midpoint and distance formulas • Be able to answer any question that may involve them. • Questions?

8. 2: Parabolas • Write equations of parabola in standard form and vertex form • Graph parabolas

Equations of Parabolas • Standard Form • y = ax 2 + bx + c • Vertex Form • y = a(x – h)2 + k

Example 1: • Write y = 3 x 2 + 24 x + 50 in vertex form. Identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, and direction of opening of the parabola.

Example 1: • Write y = -x 2 – 2 x + 3 in vertex form. Identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, and direction of opening of the parabola.

Graph Parabola • You must always graph: • • Vertex Axis of Symmetry Five points on the graph (this is to get the shape) Focus: point in which all points in a parabola are equidistant • Directrix: line that the parabola will never cross

Concept Summary (pg 422) Form of Equation y = a(x – h)2 + k x = a(y – k)2 + h Vertex (h, k) Axis of Symmetry x=h y=k upward if a > 0 downward if a < 0 right if a > 0 left if a < 0 Focus Directrix Direction of Opening Example

Example 2: • Identify the coordinates of the vertex and focus, the equations of the axis of symmetry and directrix, and the direction of opening of the parabola • y = x 2 + 6 x – 4 • x = y 2 – 8 y + 6

Example 2: • Identify the coordinates of the vertex and focus, the equations of the axis of symmetry and directrix, and the direction of opening of the parabola • y = 8 x – 2 x 2 + 10 • x = -y 2 – 4 y – 1

Example 3: • Graph: y = ½(x – 1)2 + 2 • Graph: x = -2(y + 1)2 - 3

8. 3: Circles • Write equations of circles • Graph circles

Circle • A circle is the set of all point in a plane that are equidistant from a given point in the plane, called the center. • Equation of a circle: • (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r 2

Example One: • Write an equation for the circle that satisfies each set of conditions: • Center (8, -3), Radius 6 • Center (5, -6), Radius 4

Example One: • Write an equation for the circle that satisfies each set of conditions: • Center (-5, 2) passes through (-9, 6) • Center (7, 7) passes through (12, 9)

Example One: • Write an equation for the circle that satisfies each set of conditions: • Endpoints of a diameter are (-4, -2) and (8, 4) • Endpoints of a diameter are (-4, 3) and (6, -8)

Graph circles • Make sure the equation is in standard form • Graph the center • Use the length of the radius to graph four points on the circle (up, down, left, right) • Connect the dots to create the circle

Example Two: • Find the center and radius of the circle given the equation. Then graph the circle • (x – 3)2 + y 2 = 9

Example Two: • Find the center and radius of the circle given the equation. Then graph the circle • (x – 1)2 + (y + 3)2 = 25

Example Two: • Find the center and radius of the circle given the equation. Then graph the circle • x 2 + y 2 – 10 x + 8 y + 16 = 0

Example Two: • Find the center and radius of the circle given the equation. Then graph the circle • x 2 + y 2 – 4 x + 6 y = 12
