1 REVIEW OF CONIC SECTIONS In this section we give geometric definitions of parabolas, ellipses, and hperbolas and derive their standard equations. The are called conic sections, or conics, because the result from intersecting a cone with a plane as shown in Figure. ellipse parabola hperbola FIGURE Conics PARABOLAS ais focus verte FIGURE F(, p) F parabola directri P(, ) A parabola is the set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a fied point F (called the focus) and a fied line (called the directri). This definition is illustrated b Figure. Notice that the point halfwa between the focus and the directri lies on the parabola; it is called the verte. The line through the focus perpendicular to the directri is called the ais of the parabola. In the 6th centur Galileo showed that the path of a projectile that is shot into the air at an angle to the ground is a parabola. Since then, parabolic shapes have been used in designing automobile headlights, reflecting telescopes, and suspension bridges. (See Challenge Problem.4 for the reflection propert of parabolas that makes them so useful.) We obtain a particularl simple equation for a parabola if we place its verte at the origin O and its directri parallel to the -ais as in Figure. If the focus is the point, p, then the directri has the equation p. If P, is an point on the parabola, then the distance from P to the focus is O =_p p PF s p p and the distance from P to the directri is. (Figure illustrates the case where p.) The defining propert of a parabola is that these distances are equal: FIGURE s p p We get an equivalent equation b squaring and simplifing: p p p p p p p 4p Thomson Brooks-Cole copright 7 An equation of the parabola with focus, p and directri p is 4p
2 REVIEW OF CONIC SECTIONS If we write a 4p, then the standard equation of a parabola () becomes a. It opens upward if p and downward if p [see Figure 4, parts (a) and (b)]. The graph is smmetric with respect to the -ais because () is unchanged when is replaced b. (, p) =_p (, p) =_p =_p ( p, ) (p, ) =_p (a) =4p, p> (b) =4p, p< (c) =4p, p> (d) =4p, p< FIGURE 4 If we interchange and in (), we obtain += 5 _, FIGURE 5 = 5 4p which is an equation of the parabola with focus p, and directri p. (Interchanging and amounts to reflecting about the diagonal line.) The parabola opens to the right if p and to the left if p [see Figure 4, parts (c) and (d)]. In both cases the graph is smmetric with respect to the -ais, which is the ais of the parabola. EXAMPLE Find the focus and directri of the parabola and sketch the graph. SOLUTION If we write the equation as and compare it with Equation, we see that 4p, so p 5. Thus the focus is p, ( 5, ) and the directri is 5. The sketch is shown in Figure 5. ELLIPSES F F FIGURE 6 FIGURE 7 P P(, ) F (_c, ) F (c, ) An ellipse is the set of points in a plane the sum of whose distances from two fied points F and F is a constant (see Figure 6). These two fied points are called the foci (plural of focus). One of Kepler s laws is that the orbits of the planets in the solar sstem are ellipses with the Sun at one focus. In order to obtain the simplest equation for an ellipse, we place the foci on the -ais at the points c, and c, as in Figure 7 so that the origin is halfwa between the foci. Let the sum of the distances from a point on the ellipse to the foci be a. Then P, is a point on the ellipse when PF PF a that is, s c s c a or s c a s c Squaring both sides, we have c c 4a 4as c c c Thomson Brooks-Cole copright 7 which simplifies to as c a c We square again: a c c a 4 a c c which becomes a c a a a c
3 REVIEW OF CONIC SECTIONS (_a, ) (_c, ) FIGURE 8 + = a@ b@ (, b) b a (a, ) c (c, ) (, _b) From triangle F F P in Figure 7 we see that c a, so c a and, therefore, a c. For convenience, let b a c. Then the equation of the ellipse becomes b a a b or, if both sides are divided b a b, a b Since b a c a, it follows that b a. The -intercepts are found b setting. Then a, or a, so a. The corresponding points a, and a, are called the vertices of the ellipse and the line segment joining the vertices is called the major ais. To find the -intercepts we set and obtain b, so b. Equation is unchanged if is replaced b or is replaced b, so the ellipse is smmetric about both aes. Notice that if the foci coincide, then c, so a b and the ellipse becomes a circle with radius r a b. We summarize this discussion as follows (see also Figure 8). (, a) 4 The ellipse a b a b (_b, ) FIGURE 9 + =, a b b@ a@ (, ) (, c) (, _c) (, _a) (b, ) has foci c,, where c a b, and vertices a,. If the foci of an ellipse are located on the -ais at, c, then we can find its equation b interchanging and in (4). (See Figure 9.) 5 The ellipse b a has foci, c, where c a b, and vertices, a. EXAMPLE Sketch the graph of and locate the foci. SOLUTION Divide both sides of the equation b 44: a b (_4, ) {_œ 7, } (4, ) {œ 7, } (, _) 6 9 The equation is now in the standard form for an ellipse, so we have a 6, b 9, a 4, and b. The -intercepts are 4 and the -intercepts are. Also, c a b 7, so c s7 and the foci are (s7, ). The graph is sketched in Figure. FIGURE 9 +6 =44 EXAMPLE Find an equation of the ellipse with foci, and vertices,. SOLUTION Using the notation of (5), we have c and a. Then we obtain b a c 9 4 5, so an equation of the ellipse is 5 9 Thomson Brooks-Cole copright 7 Another wa of writing the equation is Like parabolas, ellipses have an interesting reflection propert that has practical consequences. If a source of light or sound is placed at one focus of a surface with elliptical cross-sections, then all the light or sound is reflected off the surface to the other focus (see
4 4 REVIEW OF CONIC SECTIONS Eercise 59). This principle is used in lithotrips, a treatment for kidne stones. A reflector with elliptical cross-section is placed in such a wa that the kidne stone is at one focus. High-intensit sound waves generated at the other focus are reflected to the stone and destro it without damaging surrounding tissue. The patient is spared the trauma of surger and recovers within a few das. HYPERBOLAS FIGURE P is on the hperbola when PF - PF =a P(, ) F (_c, ) F (c, ) A hperbola is the set of all points in a plane the difference of whose distances from two fied points F and F (the foci) is a constant. This definition is illustrated in Figure. Hperbolas occur frequentl as graphs of equations in chemistr, phsics, biolog, and economics (Bole s Law, Ohm s Law, suppl and demand curves). A particularl significant application of hperbolas is found in the navigation sstems developed in World Wars I and II (see Eercise 5). Notice that the definition of a hperbola is similar to that of an ellipse; the onl change is that the sum of distances has become a difference of distances. In fact, the derivation of the equation of a hperbola is also similar to the one given earlier for an ellipse. It is left as Eercise 5 to show that when the foci are on the -ais at c, and the difference of distances is, then the equation of the hperbola is 6 PF PF a a b (_a, ) b =_ a (_c, ) FIGURE - = a@ b@ b = a (a, ) (c, ) where c a b. Notice that the -intercepts are again a and the points a, and a, are the vertices of the hperbola. But if we put in Equation 6 we get b, which is impossible, so there is no -intercept. The hperbola is smmetric with respect to both aes. To analze the hperbola further, we look at Equation 6 and obtain a b s a This shows that a, so. Therefore, we have a or a. This means that the hperbola consists of two parts, called its branches. When we draw a hperbola it is useful to first draw its asmptotes,which are the dashed lines ba and ba shown in Figure. Both branches of the hperbola approach the asmptotes; that is, the come arbitraril close to the asmptotes. a =_ b (, c) a = b 7 The hperbola a b has foci c,, where c a b, vertices a,, and asmptotes ba.

In the LORAN (LOng RAnge Navigation) radio navigation sstem, two radio stations located at A and B transmit simultaneous signals to a ship or an aircraft located at P. The onboard computer converts the time difference in receiving these signals into a distance difference PA PB, and this, according to the definition of a hperbola, locates the ship or aircraft on one branch of a hperbola (see the figure). Suppose that station B is located 4 mi due east of station A on a coastline. A ship received the signal from B microseconds (s) before it received the signal from A. (a) Assuming that radio signals travel at a speed of 98 fts, find an equation of the hperbola on which the ship lies. (b) If the ship is due north of B, how far off the coastline is the ship? C D 56.
