The Ellipse

The Ellipse

An ellipse is a collection of all points in the plane, the sum

  • f whose distances from two fixed points, called the foci, is
  • constant. OR. For any point P in the plane and foci

and

  • the equation

, , ,

where c is a constant, must be satisfied.

The Ellipse The Ellipse

  • The foci, center, and vertices on the minor axis form a right triangle.

This allows you to use trig and the Pythagorean theorem to find missing values.

  • Also notice that the hypotenuse is half the length of the major axis

and b is half the minor axis.

Polar Equations of Conics

  • All conics fail the vertical line test except for a “vertical”
  • parabola. Thus, they are not functions in the traditional

x-y plane.

  • However, conics are all functions when in polar form.

Polar Equations of Conics

Parametric Equations

Parametric Equations

We essentially break an equation into two pieces; one that models the x values, and one that models the y values. In doing so, each part is a function but when combined we can graph curves that are not normally functions, like the conics.

  • Uses of Parametric Equations
  • One fun use of parametric equations is the science of projectiles.
  • Here we can model a projectile with the parametric equations

cos , 1 2 sin where is the force of gravity (32 ⁄ or 9.8 ⁄ ), is the angle to the horizontal, is the height from the “ground,” and is the initial velocity of the projectile.

Parametric Equations

Example 11.7.3: Including her height, Mara is on a cliff that is 150 feet high. She decides to become a drunk and get heavily involved in drugs and thus throws her dreams off

  • f the cliff at an angle of 38° and a velocity of 25 feet per

second. a) Write a set of parametric equations modeling the flight

  • f the dreams.

b) Graph the equations on a TI calculator c) Determine the length of time that her dreams will be in the air. d) How far did her dreams fly horizontally? e) At what time will her dreams be at their peak height and what is that height?
