INTRODUCTION
Hello everyone! Welcome to one of our learning areas, the Calculus. We will
learn another one of the major learning areas in mathematics. Take this subject as one
of the games you are playing or one of the hobbies that you are doing. Enjoy studying
mathematics as if you are just learning something new in order to improve yourself
and for your future career as future mentors.
We will try our best to learn this subject in a simple way so as we will be able to
understand its concepts and principles. Try to look around you, we can observe that
everything that surrounds us keep changing. Particular example, our life as a student,
before, we go to school, meet new friends, hangout with barkadas, talk to others face-
to-face, but due the pandemic circumstances, all these things change. We meet new
friends through different google platforms such as Facebook, messenger, Instagram,
and many other forms. Yet, we can communicate with them. As we try to overcome
this situation that we are in, we still need to enhance our learning in mathematics. We
learned different disciplines in mathematics, particularly Algebra.
The change that we observed will be the one we will study in calculus. In
Calculus, we are interested in how a change in one variable affects other variables.
Unlike in Algebra, we solve equations for a particular value of a variable. We will learn
more about the limit, derivative and integration of a function, however, let us first
discuss some topics in analytic geometry and the conic sections.
We will just discuss the simple one, so let us learn together. Don’t hesitate to
ask questions through group chat that we created. If in case you don’t understand the
lesson try to message me, so as we can discuss.
The subject matter will enhance your capabilities in learning and exploring
more advanced mathematics. Its usefulness will address the future needs you will have
in teaching mathematics.
This module will lead you to study of straight lines and conic sections and
explore more about the analytic geometry and conic sections in more details.

Let 𝐴(−2) and 𝐵(5) be points on the same number line. Find the distance
̅̅̅̅̅̅
|𝐴𝐵| between 𝐴 and 𝐵.
Solution:
𝑎 = −2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏 = 5 , the distance between 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵 is given by ̅̅̅̅̅̅
|𝐴𝐵| =
|𝑎 − 𝑏| = |−2 − 5| = 7
• intervals
Recall the interval of real numbers.
Let 𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏 be real numbers such that 𝑎 < 𝑏.
a. Open interval (𝑎, 𝑏)
The open interval (𝑎, 𝑏) consists of all real numbers between
𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏. Equivalently,
(𝑎, 𝑏) = {𝑥 𝜖 ℝ: 𝑎 < 𝑥 < 𝑏}
3. Directed Distance
Recall the rectangular coordinate system. When we draw a pair of
perpendicular on the plane such that one is horizontal line and the
other is vertical line. See the figure 1.1
• 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 is the horizontal line
• 𝑦 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 is the vertical line
• origin is the intersection of two perpendicular lines
• ordered pair (𝑥, 𝑦) is real numbers that corresponds to each point
in a plane.
• 𝑥 is the directed distance of the point from the 𝑦 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠
• 𝑦 is the directed distance of the point from the 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠
• The point associated to the ordered pair (𝑥, 𝑦) lies
o to the right of the 𝑦 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 > 0
o to the left of the 𝑦 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 < 0
o on the 𝑦 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 = 0
• The point lies
o above the 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑓 𝑦 > 0
o below the 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑓 𝑦 < 0
o on the 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 𝑖𝑓 𝑦 = 0

We can see at the figure 1.2 that by using Pythagorean theorem, we can derive the
distance formula given two points 𝑃1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑃2 . You can derive it on your own and still
you will arrive at the same formula.
The distance between two points 𝑃1 (𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) and 𝑃2 (𝑥2 , 𝑦2 ) on the same plane is
given by the formula
The distance between two points𝑃1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑃2 can be denoted as 𝑑(𝑃1 𝑃2 ) or |̅̅̅̅̅̅

Things to remember:
Example:
1. Find the slope of the line passing through the points (−1,3)𝑎𝑛𝑑 (2, −1).
Solution:
(𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) = (−1,3) and (𝑥2 , 𝑦2 ) = (2, −1) the slope of the line is
computed as
𝑦2 − 𝑦1 −1 − (−3) −1 + 3 2
𝑚= = = =
𝑥2 − 𝑥1 2 − (−1) 2+1 3
We can define parallel and perpendicular lines using the slope of the lines.
Theorem 1.4.1 Two non-vertical lines 𝐿1 and 𝐿2 are said to be parallel if and
only if their slopes are equal.
Theorem 1.4.1 Two non-vertical and non-horizontal lines 𝐿1 and 𝐿2 are said to
be perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is −1.
Remarks:
1. The slopes of parallel lines are equal. That is, if the slope of 𝐿1 𝑖𝑠 𝑚1 and the
slope of 𝐿2 is 𝑚2 , then 𝑚1 = 𝑚2 .

1. The slope of a line𝑙1 is 3. Find the slope of the second line 𝑙2 if 𝑙1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑙2 are
a. Parallel
b. Perpendicular
Solution:
1. If 𝑙1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑙2 are parallel then their slopes are equal. Since the
slope of 𝑙1 is 3, then the slope of 𝑙2 is 3 also.
2. If 𝑙1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑙2 are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -
1 or one slope is negative reciprocal of the other slope. Since the
1
slope of 𝑙1 is 3, then the slope of 𝑙2 is − 3.
𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 + 𝐶 = 0
where 𝐴, 𝐵 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶 are constants and not both 𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵 are zero.
Example:

1. Determine if the point (− 2 , 2) lies on the line given by 2𝑥 + 3𝑦 − 3 = 0.
Solution:
3 3
At the point (− 2 , 2) , 𝑥 = − 2 and 𝑦 = 2. If we substitute these
values to the given equation 2𝑥 + 3𝑦 − 3 = 0, we obtain
3
2 (− 2) + 3(2) − 3 = 0, or −3 + 6 − 3 = 0, which is true.

Therefore, (− 2 , 2)lies on the line given by 2𝑥 + 3𝑦 − 3 = 0.

equation of the line is 4𝑥 − 3𝑦 + 15 = 0. We identify 𝐴 = 4, 𝐵 = −3, 𝐶 = 15. While
the given 𝑥 = 5 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = 1. By substituting these values to the equation of distance

Discussion
2.1 Conic Sections
2.1.1 Definitions:
• Conic section is the intersection of a plane and a right circular cone with
two nappes. Curves formed by the intersection of a plane and a double
right circular cone.
Vertical axis
generators
upper nappe
vertex
Lower nappe
Figure 2.1.1
• Generator of the cone- a line lying entirely on the cone. All generators of
the cone pass through its vertex.
• Vertex- is the only point where the two nappes intersect.
• Vertical axis -axis where the generators move around.
2. Parabola
If cutting plane is parallel to one and only one generator, the curve is
parabola. It occurs when the plane intersects only one cone to form an
unbounded curve.
3. Ellipse
If cutting plane is not parallel generator, that is it cuts all generators,
the curve of intersection is ellipse. It happens when the (tilted) plane intersects
only one cone to form a bounded curve.
4. Hyperbola
If the cutting plane is parallel to two generators, the curve of
intersection is hyperbola. It is when the plane (not necessarily vertical)
intersects both cones to form two unbounded curves (each called a branch
of the hyperbola).
• So, non-degenerate conic is a set of points 𝑃(𝑥, 𝑦) on the plane such that the
ratio of the undirected distance of P from a fixed point (focus) to the
undirected distance of p from a fixed line not through the fixed point
(directrix) is a constant.
• The constant ratio is the eccentricity of the conic denoted by 𝑒.
• Let 𝑃 be a point on a conic with focus at F and let 𝑄 be the projection of 𝑃
on the directrix.
̅̅̅̅ | = 𝑒|𝐹𝑃
|𝐹𝑃 ̅̅̅̅|
c. a hyperbola if 𝑒 > 1
First, though circle is mostly considered as geometric figure rather than included as
conic, but we have to understands its details.
1. CIRCLE
• Definition and equation of a circle.

A Definition of a circle
Suppose we let 𝐶 be a given point, as shown in the firgure2.1.3.2. The set of
all points 𝑃 having the same distance from 𝐶 is called a circle. The point 𝐶
is called the center of the circle, that is the fixed point, and a fixed or
common distance from 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝐶 is its radius 𝑟.

𝑃 (𝑥, 𝑦)
𝐶 (ℎ, 𝑘)
𝐹𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑟𝑒 2.1.3.2
B. Standard equation of a circle with center 𝑪(𝒉, 𝒌) and radius 𝒓.
The radius refers to a segment from the center 𝐶 to a point 𝑃 on the circle. We
will find the length of this segment 𝑃𝐶 using the distance between two points
formula.
𝐺𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛: 𝐶 (ℎ, 𝑘 ) 𝑎𝑠 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟 𝑎𝑠 𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡 𝑃 (𝑥, 𝑦). The distance
of the segment 𝑃𝐶 is given below.
𝑃𝐶 = 𝑟 = √(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + (𝑦 − 𝑘)2
𝑟 2 = (𝑥 − ℎ)2 + (𝑦 − 𝑘)2
(𝒙 − 𝒉)𝟐 + (𝒚 − 𝒌)𝟐 = 𝒓𝟐
If the center is at origin and the radius is 1, then the equation of the circle is given
by:
(𝑥 − 0)2 + (𝑦 − 0)2 = 12
𝑥2 + 𝑦2 = 1
Example:
In each item, give the standard equation of the circle satisfying the given conditions.
Solution:
𝐶 (ℎ, 𝑘 ) = (0,0), 𝑟 = 3
Using the formula 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 𝑟 2
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = (3)2
𝒙 𝟐 + 𝒚𝟐 = 𝟗
2. Center (−4,3), 𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑠 √7

Solution:
As shown on the circle, the center is (2,1). The radius can be obtained by
𝑑𝐵𝐶 = 𝑟 = √(5 − 2)2 + (5 − 1)2
𝑟 = √(3)2 + (4)2
𝑟 = √9 + 16
𝑟 = √25
𝑟=5

Solution:
By inspection, the center of circle is (4, 2) and the radius 𝑟 = 4, so the equation is
(𝒙 − 𝟒))𝟐 + (𝒚 − 𝟐)𝟐 = 𝟏𝟔
By inspection, the center of circle is (−1, −1) and the radius 𝑟 = 3, so the equation
is
(𝒙 − (−𝟏))𝟐 + (𝒚 − (−𝟏))𝟐 = 𝟗
(𝒙 + 𝟏)𝟐 + (𝒚 + 𝟏)𝟐 = 𝟗
WPU-QSF-ACAD-82A Rev. 00 (09.15.20)
28
The center is 5 units away from the 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠, so the radius is 𝑟 = 5. The
equation is
(𝒙 − 𝟒)𝟐 + (𝒚 + 𝟓))𝟐 = 𝟐𝟓
Solution:
−1+4 4+2 3
The center 𝐶 is the midpoint of 𝐴 and 𝐵: 𝐶 = ( , ) = (2 , 3). The radius is then
2 2

𝑟 = 𝐴𝐶 = √(−1 − 2) + (4 − 3)2 = √ 4 .

The circle has equation (𝑥 − 2) + (𝑦 − 3)2 = .

Let us expand the equation of the circle in standard form (𝑥 − ) + (𝑦 − 3)2 =
2 4
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 3𝑥 − 6𝑦 − 5 = 0
𝐴𝑥 2 + 𝐴𝑦 2 + 𝐶𝑥 + 𝐷𝑦 + 𝐸 = 0, 𝐴≠0
or
2 2
𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝐶𝑥 + 𝐷𝑦 + 𝐸 = 0, 𝐴≠0
Example:
1. Identify the center and radius in the given equation. Sketch its graph and
indicate the center.
a. 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 6𝑥 = 7
Solution:
The first thing to do is to rewrite the equation into standard form. To do this, is to
apply the completing the square in 𝑥 and in 𝑦 by finding a perfect polynomial
square to be added. Since we can identify the center and radius if the equation is
in standard form.
𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 6𝑥 = 7
Rewrite: 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 𝑦 2 = 7
1 2
Take (2 𝑏) [𝑏 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑥 𝑜𝑟 𝑦) and add to both sides of the equation.

So (2 (−6)) = 9
𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 9 + 𝑦 2 = 7 + 9
(𝑥 − 3)2 + 𝑦 2 = 16

Parabola is a conic section with eccentricity of 𝑒 = 1. It is the set of all points
in the plane whose distance from a fixed point (focus) is equal to its distance
from a fixed line (directrix).

2. Equation of parabola

Let point 𝑃(𝑥, 𝑦) is on the parabola, then the distance of point 𝑃 from
𝐹(𝑓𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑠) is equal to the distance of 𝑃 from 𝐷 (𝑑𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑥).
(𝑥 − 𝑝)2 + 𝑦 2 = (𝑥 + 𝑝)2
𝑥 2 − 2𝑝𝑥 + 𝑝2 + 𝑦 2 = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑝𝑥 + 𝑝2

3. ELLIPSE
A. Definition
Ellipse is a set of points in the plane whose distances from two fixed
points (foci) sum up to a constant.
B. Properties of an ellipse
Foci: 𝐹1 (−𝑐, 0)𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹2 (𝑐, 0)
Vertices: 𝑉1 (−𝑎, 0)𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑉2 (𝑎, 0)
Endpoints of minor axis: 𝐵1 (0, −𝑏)𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵2 (0, 𝑏)
If the distance of a point 𝑃 to 𝐹1 plus the distance of 𝑃 to 𝐹2 is equal to a
constant then that point 𝑃 is on the ellipse.

𝐹𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑟𝑒 2.1.3.13
Suppose we let 𝑃(𝑥, 𝑦) be a point on an ellipse, then from the definition
of ellipse we obtain
√(𝑥 + 𝑐 )2 + 𝑦 2 + √(𝑥 − 𝑐 )2 + 𝑦 2 = 2𝑎
2 2
(√(𝑥 + 𝑐 )2 + 𝑦 2 ) = (2𝑎 − √(𝑥 − 𝑐 )2 + 𝑦 2 )
𝑎2 (𝑥 2 − 2𝑐𝑥 + 𝑐 2 + 𝑦 2 ) = 𝑎4 − 2𝑎2 𝑐𝑥 + 𝑐 2 𝑥 2

4. Hyperbola
• Definition:
Hyperbola is the set of all points in plane where the absolute value of the
difference of whose distances from two fixed points 𝐹1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹2 (foci) is
constant
• Properties of Hyperbola
𝐹𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑟𝑒 2.1.3.16
We let 𝑃(𝑥, 𝑦) be a point on the hyperbola and suppose 𝑐 > 0. Let us find the
equation of the hyperbola with foci 𝐹1 (−𝑐, 0)𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹2 (𝑐, 0). Assuming that the
hyperbola intersects 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 at 𝑉1 (−𝑎, 0) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑉2 (𝑎, 0) 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑎 > 0. Remember that
the difference between the distance from the farther focus to the vertex and the
distance of the closer focus to the same vertex is
[(𝑐 − 𝑎) + 2𝑎] − (𝑐 − 𝑎) = 2𝑎
Hence, the distance to the farther focus minus the distance to the closer focus
for all points on the parabola is 2𝑎.
From the 𝐹𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑟𝑒 2.1.3.16 and based on the definition of the hyperbola,
we obtain
|√(𝑥 + 𝑐 )2 + 𝑦 2 − √(𝑥 − 𝑐 )2 + 𝑦 2 | = 2𝑎

We have to write the equation in the form of a2 − b2 = 1, since we can notice in
the equation that 9𝑦 2 − 4𝑥 2 . We divide the equation in both sides with 144 in order
for the coefficient of 𝑦 2 and 𝑥 2 to be equal to 1.

𝑦 2 𝑥 2 144
⟹ − =
16 36 144
𝑦2 𝑥2
⟹ 2− 2=1
4 6
Therefore:
𝑎 = 4 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏 = 6
So the transverse axis is vertical and the center is at 𝐶 (0,0).
The vertices are 𝑉1(0, −4)𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑉2 (0,4).
The foci are 𝐹1 (0, −2√13)𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹2 (0,2√13) since 𝑐 = √𝑎2 + 𝑏2 .
The conjugate axis has coordinates of 𝐵1 (−6,0)𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑉2 (6,0).
Example 2: Find an equation of the hyperbola and the equations of its asymptotes
if the hyperbola has its center at 𝐶 (1, −3), foci at 𝐹1 (1, −5) and
𝐹2 (1, −1) and vertices at 𝑉1 (1, −4) and 𝑉2 (1, −2)
Solution: Since the center is at 𝐶 (1, −3), then it follows that ℎ = 1, 𝑘 = −3. Then
|𝐹1 𝐹2 | = 2𝑐 = 4 and |𝑉1 𝑉2| = 2𝑎 = 2. Thus, 𝑐 = 2, 𝑎 = 1, so 𝑏 = √22 − 12 = √3. The
transverse axis is vertical since the vertices and foci all lie on the same vertical line.
The equation of the hyperbola has the form
