Lesson 1 and 2 - Conic Sections and The Circle

The document discusses conic sections and circles. It defines conic sections as two-dimensional curves formed by the intersection of a plane and a double-napped cone. The main types of conic sections are circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. The document also specifically defines a circle as the set of all points equidistant from a fixed center point. It provides the standard form equation of a circle and works through examples of finding the center, radius, and graphing circles from equations.

LESSON 1 AND 2: CONIC

SECTIONS AND THE CIRCLE


LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this lesson, the learners will be able to:
• illustrate the different types of conic sections: parabola, ellipse,
circle, hyperbola, and degenerate conics
• define a circle; determine the standard form of equation of a circle
What are Conic Sections?
Why do we study Conic Sections?
HISTORY

1) Menaechmus - first to discover.

2) Appollonius of Perga (The Great Geometer)


- Father of Conic Section; eight books
DOUBLE-NAPPED CONE
DOUBLE-NAPPED CONE
a. Vertex - point of rotation
c. Generator - line that generates
the two cones
d. Upper-Nappe and Lower-
Nappe – lateral surfaces of the
cones
e. Axis – line passing through the
vertex and is perpendicular to the
bases
DOUBLE-NAPPED CONE
e. Directrix - Perimeter of the Base
f. Plane – 2-dimensional object(xy-Plane)
g. Vertex angle (a- alpha) - angle formed
between the axis and generator
h. B(beta) – angle formed between the axis
and the plane.
DEFINITION OF CONIC SECTIONS
Conic Sections( or Conics) are two-dimensional curves
formed when a plane intersects the double-napped cone.

TYPES OF CONIC SECTIONS
1. CIRCLE - forms when the angle of the plane with the axis is 90
degrees. (B = 90°)
2. PARABOLA – forms when the vertex angle is equal to the angle of
the plane with the axis. (a = B)
3. ELLIPSE - forms when the vertex angle is less than the angle of the
plane with the axis. (a < B)
3. HYPERBOLA - forms when the vertex angle is greater than the angle
of the plane with the axis. (a > B)
DEGENERATE CONICS
Degenerate Conics form
when the plane intersects the
cone at the vertex.
1) IS A POINT A CIRCLE?
2) IS A LINE A PARABOLA?
3) ARE INTERSECTING LINE
HYPERBOLAS?
THE CIRCLE
DEFINITION OF A CIRCLE
1) DOUBLE-NAPPE CONE DEFINITION
A Circle forms when the angle of the plane with the axis is 90 degrees. (B =
90°)

2) LOCUS DEFINITION
The circle is defined as the set of all points equidistant from a fixed
point(center) where the distance of the sets of points from the center is
called the radius.
DEFINITION OF A CIRCLE

Where is the circle?

Circle, Interior of the Circle and the Exterior of the Circle


PARTS OF THE CIRCLE
1) CENTER – fixed point in the circle
2) RADIUS – segment from the center to a point in
the circle
3) CHORD – segment whose endpoints are in the
circle
4) DIAMETER – twice the radius; a chord that
passes through the center
5) CIRCUMFERENCE – total distance of the circle
6) ARC – curve portion of the circle
7) SEMI-CIRCLE – arc which is half of the circle
8) SECTOR – A region within the circle bounded by
two radii.

TYPES OF CIRCLE
1) Real Circle: radius exists. ( r > 0)

2) Point Circle / Point : radius is zero. (r = 0)

3) Imaginary Circle: radius does not exist. (r < 0)
