Study Notes
Analytic Geometry
- Analytic geometry combines principles of algebra and geometry, studying shapes and figures using coordinate systems.
- Rene Descartes introduced coordinate systems, founding analytic geometry in 1637.
Rectangular Coordinates
- Also known as Cartesian coordinate system.
- In a 2D system, a point is represented by an ordered pair (x, y).
- x is the horizontal coordinate (abscissa).
- y is the vertical coordinate (ordinate).
- Quadrants are used to indicate the location of a point relative to the axes.
Distance Between Two Points
In a Plane
- Distance formula: d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²), where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the coordinates of the two points.
In Space
- Distance formula: d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)² + (z₂ - z₁)²), where (x₁, y₁, z₁) and (x₂, y₂, z₂) are the coordinates of the two points.
Equations of Lines
- General Equation: Ax + By + C = 0
- Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line.
- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
- Two-Point Form: (y - y₁) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) * (x - x₁) where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points on the line
- Intercept Form: x/a + y/b = 1, where a is the x-intercept and b is the y-intercept.
Distance Between a Line and a Point
- d = |Ax₁ + By₁ + C| / √(A² + B²), where (x₁, y₁) is the point and Ax + By + C = 0 is the line equation.
Distance Between Two Parallel Lines
- d = |C₁ - C₂| / √(A² + B²), where the two parallel lines are Ax + By + C₁ = 0 and Ax + By + C₂ = 0.
Division of a Line Segment
- The coordinates of a point dividing a segment with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are calculated using ratios.
Midpoint of a Line Segment
- The midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is at ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2).
Slope of a Line
- Slope (m) = rise/run = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
- Parallel lines have equal slopes.
- Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.
Angles Formed by Two Lines
- Angle between lines with slopes m₁ and m₂: tan θ = |(m₂ - m₁)/(1 + m₁m₂)| = |(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)- (y₂' - y₁')/(x₂' - x₁')|
Area of a Triangle by Coordinates
- Area = 1/2 |(x₁y₂ + x₂y₃ + x₃y₁) - (x₂y₁ + x₃y₂ + x₁y₃)| where (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃) are the coordinates of the vertices.
