Study Notes

Circle

Defined by the equation where x² and y² have the same coefficients.
Example center for the equation (x+8)²+(y+3)²=121 is (−8,−3).
Radius can be determined from (x−5)²+(y+2)²=64, yielding a radius of 8.

Ellipse

Exists when x² and y² have the same sign but different coefficients.
Center can be found from (x-5)²/16 + (y+3)²/25 as (5,−3).
Major axis is vertical because the larger denominator is associated with (y+3)² (25 > 16).
Domain is [1,9] and range is [-8,2].

Hyperbola

Created when x² and y² have opposite signs.
For the hyperbola x²−y²=4, it opens to the left and right.
Center retrieved from (x-5)²/16 - (y+3)²/144=1 is (5,−3).
Domain is (-∞,1] U [9,∞) and all real numbers for the equation x-5)²/16 - (y+3)²/144=1.

Parabola

Describes the equation with only one variable squared.
Opens left as indicated by the equation 2y²+x+16y+34=0.
Vertex for y=(x+3)²-4 positioned at (-3,−4).
Domain characterized as all real numbers and range as [0,∞) for y=(x-5)².
