Study Notes
Introduction to Analytic Geometry
- Geometry is the branch of mathematics that studies sizes, shapes, positions, angles, and dimensions of objects.
- It analyzes the properties and relationships of points, lines, surfaces, solids, and higher-dimensional analogues.
Branches of Geometry
- Analytic/Coordinate/Cartesian geometry
- Euclidean geometry
- Projective geometry
- Differential geometry
- Non-Euclidean geometry
- Topology
Analytic Geometry
- Focuses on studying functions geometrically, especially first- and second-degree functions, using graphs.
- Also known as coordinate geometry or Cartesian geometry.
- Uses coordinate systems to study geometry.
- Is fundamental to many modern fields like physics, engineering, aviation, rocket science, space science, and spaceflight.
Number Line
- A line used to represent positive and negative numbers.
- Typically starts at 0 (midpoint), extends to positive infinity on the right and negative infinity on the left, when arranged horizontally.
- A vertical number line exists as well.
Coordinate Systems
- Cartesian/Rectangular coordinate system
- Polar coordinate system
- Spherical coordinate system
Cartesian/Rectangular Coordinate System
- A 2-dimensional system for representing points on a plane.
- Uses two perpendicular lines (axes) to define the position of any point.
- Commonly known as the $x$-$y$ plane or the Euclidean 2-dimensional plane.
- The horizontal line is the x-axis and goes through the origin point.
- The vertical line is the y-axis and goes through the origin point.
- The origin is the point of intersection of the two axes, with coordinates (0,0).
- Any point in the plane can be described by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y) where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate.
Polar Coordinate System
- A coordinate system that uses a single radial axis (r) and a single angular axis (θ).
- Locates a point P(r, θ) using the radius r (distance from the origin to the point) and the angle θ (measured in radians) between the positive x-axis and the line segment connecting the origin to the point.
Transformations Between Cartesian and Polar
- x = rcos θ
- y = rsin θ
- r = √x² + y²
- θ = tan⁻¹(y/x)
Spherical Coordinate System
- A 3-dimensional coordinate system.
- Determines the position of a point in 3D space based on its distance from the origin (r) and two angles, θ and φ.
- The point is represented by P(r, θ, φ).
- θ is the polar angle.
- φ is the azimuthal angle.
Distance Formula
- The distance between two points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) is given by: |AB| = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²).
Examples
(various examples of calculations using the above concepts are given in the text)
The Midpoint of a Line Segment
- The midpoint of a line segment joining A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) has coordinates: ((x₁ + x₂)/2), ((y₁ + y₂)/2).
Division of a Line Segment in a Given Ratio
- For internal and external division, coordinates of a point that divides the line segment joining two points can be determined using ratios.
The Gradient (Slope) of a Line Joining Two Points
- The gradient (m) of a line joining points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) is given by: m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
The Equation of a Line
- Standard form: ax + by + c = 0
- Slope-intercept form: y = mx + c
- Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
Parallel Lines
- Parallel lines have equal slopes.
- Any line parallel to a given one will have the same gradient.
Intersecting Lines
- The coordinates of the intersection point of two lines satisfy both equations.
- Solve the equations simultaneously to find the intersection point.
Perpendicular Lines
- The product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is −1.
- If m₁ and m₂ are the slopes of two perpendicular lines, then m₁ * m₂ = −1.
The Acute Angle Between Two Lines
- The angle θ between two lines with slopes m₁ and m₂ is given by: tan(θ) = |(m₂ - m₁)/(1 + m₁m₂)|
The Distance from a Point to a Line
- The perpendicular distance from a point P(x₁, y₁) to the line ax + by + c = 0 is given by: d = |ax₁ + by₁ + c|/√(a² + b²)
The Circle
- A circle is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point called the center.
- The fixed distance is called the radius.
Equation of a Circle Centered at the Origin
- x² + y² = r²
Equation of a Circle with Center (a, b)
- (x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
Tangents and Normals to a Circle
- A tangent to a circle is a line that touches the circumference of the circle at exactly one point, and is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact.
- A normal to a circle is a line perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact.
Length of a Tangent from an External Point to a Circle
- The length of a tangent from an external point to a circle can be found using the distance formula and the radius of the circle.
Conditions for a Line to be Tangential to a Circle
- A line is tangent to a circle if and only if its distance from the center is equal to the circle’s radius.
Point(s) of Intersection of a Circle and a Line
- Solve the equation of the line and the circle simultaneously to get the intersection point(s)
- If only one point of intersection is found, the line is tangent to the circle.
The Locus of a Point
- A locus is the set of all points satisfying a given geometric condition.
Conic Sections
- Parabola
- Ellipse
- Hyperbola
- Conic is a locus of a moving point whose distance from a fixed point (focus) bears a constant ratio to its distance from a fixed line (directrix) called the eccentricity.
The Parabola
- The set of all points equidistant from a fixed point (focus) and a fixed line (directrix).
The Ellipse
- The set of all points in a plane such that the sum of the distances from two fixed points (foci) is constant.
The Hyperbola
- The set of all points in a plane such that the absolute value of the difference of the distances from two fixed points (foci) is constant.
Parametric Equations
- Parametric equations for a parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola express the coordinates (x, y) in terms of a parameter.
