Conic Sections – Circle


Conic Sections
Conic sections are curves generated by the
intersection of a cone and a plane.
 Circle  Parabola
 Ellipse  Hyperbola
A circle is a conic section obtained by intersecting a
cone with a plane perpendicular to its axis of
symmetry. It is of a set of points equidistant to a
given point called the center.

Basic Concepts of a Circle


 Center: It is the point wherein all points in a circle are equidistant to.
 Circumference: It is the curve that bounds the circle.

(𝑥 ,(𝑥𝑦 ) and ,𝑦 ), then the center is given by 𝑥


 Diameter: It is the line crossing the circle and passing through the center. Suppose the
𝑦1+𝑦2 ,
1+𝑥2
).
endpoints of diameter are
1 1 2 2 (

 Radius: It is a straight line drawn from the center to the boundary line or circumference.
Its length is half of the length of the diameter.
 Chord: It is a straight line joining two (2) points on the circumference points of a circle.
 Arc: It is a part of the circumference between two (2) points or a continuous piece of a
circle.

Standard Equation of a Circle with center at (h, k) and radius 𝒓:


(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + (𝑦 − 𝑘)2
= 𝑟2
Graphing a circle
STEP 1. Detetermine ℎ, 𝑘, and 𝑟.
STEP 2. Locate the center (ℎ, 𝑘).
STEP 3. Locate the endpoints of horizontal diameter (ℎ ± 𝑟, 𝑘) and endpoints of
vertical diameter (ℎ, 𝑘 ± 𝑟).
STEP 4. Draw the circle that passes on these four (4) points and label the graphs (center,
radius, and diameter endpoints).

Expressing Polynomial Equation of a Circle to Standard Form

Group 𝑥 and 𝑦 terms.


STEP 1. Transpose the constant term.

Complete the square for expressions in 𝑥 and 𝑦.


STEP 2.

Express the 𝑥 and 𝑦 expressions as perfect squares and simplify the constant terms.
