Pre-Calculus Q1 Flashcards
is a curve obtained by intersecting a cone (right
circular cone; its nappe), specifically double cones, with a
plane.
CONIC
horizontal parallel form the base
CIRCLE
tilted plane intersects only one to form a bounded curve
ELLIPSE
-unbounded, slanting height
Parabola
-intersects both cones to form unbounded curves
hyperbola
A _____ consists of all points on the plane equidistant from a fixed
point called the center. The distance from the center to any point on the _____
is constant and is called the radius of the ______.
CIRCLE
(x−h)^2+(y−k)^2=r
CIRCLE (h, k)
x^2+y^2=r^2
CIRCLE (0, 0)
Radius: h^2+k^2-E
Circle
The locus/set of points, where the distance from the focus is equal to the distance from the directrix. Halfway between is the vertex. Eccentricity is one.
