Analytical Geometry: Do You Know: The Equation of Straight Line Is

The document discusses analytical geometry and conic sections. It defines conic sections as the four curves obtained by intersecting a cone with a plane, specifically a parabola, ellipse, circle, and hyperbola. While a figure shows why they are called conic sections, it does not provide equations for the curves. To develop equations, the document will redefine the conic sections more precisely using the distance formula between points. It will then discuss the distance formula.

ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY

The conic sections are the four curves that are obtained by intersecting a
cone and
a plane as in Fig. 13.3. The figure explains why the parabola, ellipse, circle,
and hyperbola are called conic sections, but it does not help us find
equations for the
curves.To develop equations for these curves we will redefine them more
precisely
using distance between points. So we will first discuss the distance formula
