    The document defines conic sections and describes parabolas. It provides the key properties of parabolas including that a parabola is the set of all points equidistant from a fixed point (the focus) and fixed line (the directrix). The eccentricity of a parabola is 1. The document also gives the standard and general forms of equations for parabolas with the vertex at the origin or another point (h,k), and provides examples of using the equation forms and finding properties of parabolas given conditions.

    CONIC SECTIONS

    Prepared by:
    Prof. Teresita P. Liwanag – Zapanta
    B.S.C.E., M.S.C.M., M.Ed. (Math-units), PhD-TM (on-going)
    SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
    At the end of the lesson, the student is expected to
    be able to:

    • define conic section


    • identify the different conic section
    • describe parabola
    • convert general form to standard form of equation of
    parabola and vice versa.
    • give the different properties of a parabola and sketch its
    graph
    Conic Section or a Conic is a path of point that moves so
    that its distance from a fixed point is in constant ratio to its
    distance from a fixed line.

    Focus is the fixed point


    Directrix is the fixed line
    Eccentricity is the constant ratio usually represented by (e)
    The conic section falls into three (3) classes, which varies in
    form and in certain properties. These classes are distinguished
    by the value of the eccentricity (e).
    If e = 1, a conic section which is a parabola
    If e < 1, a conic section which is an ellipse
    If e > 1, a conic section which is a hyperbola
    THE PARABOLA (e = 1)

    A parabola is the set of all points in a plane, which are


    equidistant from a fixed point and a fixed line of the plane.
    The fixed point called the focus (F) and the fixed line the
    directrix (D). The point midway between the focus and the
    directrix is called the vertex (V). The chord drawn through
    the focus and perpendicular to the axis of the parabola is
    called the latus rectum (LR).
    PARABOLA WITH VERTEX AT THE ORIGIN, V (0, 0)
    Let: D - Directrix
    F - Focus
    2a - Distance from F to D
    LR - Latus Rectum = 4a
    (a, 0) - Coordinates of F
    Choose any point along the parabola
    So that,

    or

    Equations of parabola with vertex at the origin V (0, 0)
    Examples

    1. Determine the focus, the length of the latus rectum and


    the equation of the directrix for the parabola 3y2 – 8x = 0 and
    sketch the graph.
    2. Write the equation of the parabola with vertex V at (0, 0)
    which satisfies the given conditions:
    a. axis on the y-axis and passes through (6, -3)
    b. F(0, 4/3) and the equation of the directrix is y + 4/3 = 0
    c. Directrix is x – 4 = 0
    d. Focus at (0, 2)
    e. Latus rectum is 6 units and the parabola opens to the left
    f. Focus on the x-axis and passes through (4, 3)
    PARABOLA WITH VERTEX AT V (h, k)
    We consider a parabola whose axis is parallel to, but
    not on, a coordinate axis. In the figure, the vertex is at (h, k)
    and the focus at (h+a, k). We introduce another pair of axes by
    a translation to the point (h, k). Since the distance from the
    vertex to the focus is a, we have at once the equation
    y’2 = 4ax’
    Therefore the equation of a parabola with vertex at (h,
    k) and focus at (h+a, k) is
    (y – k)2 = 4a (x – h)
    Equations of parabola with vertex at V (h, k)
    Standard Form General Form

    (y – k)2 = 4a (x – h)
    y2 + Dy + Ex + F = 0
    (y – k)2 = - 4a (x – h)

    (x – h)2 = 4a (y – k)
    x2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0
    (x – h)2 = - 4a (y – k)
    Examples

    1. Draw the graph of the parabola y2 + 8x – 6y + 25 = 0


    2. Express x2 – 12x + 16y – 60 = 0 to standard form and construct
    the parabola.
    3. Determine the equation of the parabola in the standard form,
    which satisfies the given conditions.
    a. V (3, 2) and F (5, 2)
    b. V (2, 3) and axis parallel to y axis and passing through (4, 5)
    c. V (2, 1), Latus rectum at (-1, -5) & (-1, 7)
    d. V (2, -3) and directrix is y = -7
    4. Find the equation of parabola with vertex at (-1, -2), axis is
    vertical and passes through (3, 6).
    5. A parabola whose axis is parallel to the y-axis passes through the
    points (1, 1), (2, 2) and (-1, 5). Find the equation and construct the
    parabola.
    6. A parabola whose axis is parallel to the x-axis passes through
    (0, 4), (0, -1) and (6, 1). Find the equation and construct the
    parabola.

    ground and 3 meters below the line of the pipe, the water
    trajectory is at a horizontal distance of 5 meters. How far from the
    vertical line will the stream of the water hit the ground?
    9. A parabolic suspension bridge cable is hung between two
    supporting towers 120 meters apart and 35 meters above the
    bridge deck. The lowest point of the cable is 5 meters above the
    deck. Determine the lengths (h1 & h2) of the tension members 20
    meters and 40 meters from the bridge center.
    10. A parkway 20 meters wide is spanned by a parabolic arc 30
    meters long along the horizontal. If the parkway is centered, how
    high must the vertex of the arch be in order to give a minimum
    clearance of 5 meters over the parkway.
