Conic Sections

Whenever a plane intersects a double-napped right-circular cone, the intersection of these 2 surfaces (cross section) is called a [b]conic section[/b]. [br][br]There are a few types of [b]conic sections[/b] (illustrated below). [br][br]Without looking up any other information on your internet browser, can you describe, in your own words, conditions that cause each conic section to form? [br][br][b]Note:[/b] [br]If the [color=#1e84cc][b]BLUE POINT[/b][/color] is [b][color=#1e84cc]LARGE[/color][/b], it is also moveable.

Locus Problem (1)

In the applet below, [br][br][i][color=#1e84cc][b]F[/b][/color][/i][color=#1e84cc][b] is a point[/b] [/color]that is not on line [i]d[/i]. [br][b]Point [i]D[/i] is a point that lies ON [color=#666666]the line that passes through [i]A [/i]and [i]B[/i][/color]. [br][/b]The [color=#ff00ff][b]pink line[/b][/color] is the [color=#ff00ff][b]perpendicular bisector[/b][/color] of the segment with endpoints [i][color=#1e84cc][b]F[/b][/color][/i] and [i][b]D[/b][/i]. [br][br]Drag [b]point [i]D[/i][/b] along the line. What do you see? Describe in detail! [br] [br]Feel free to alter the locations of [color=#666666][i][b]A,[/b][/i][/color] [i][color=#666666][b]B[/b][/color], [/i]and/or [i][color=#1e84cc][b]F[/b][/color][/i][color=#666666]. [br][/color]Then [color=#38761d][b]clear the trace[/b][/color] and drag [b]point [i]D[/i][/b] along [color=#666666][b]the line[/b][/color] again. [br][br]Why does this occur?

Locus Problem (2)

In the applet below, [br][br][color=#1e84cc][b][i]O[/i] is the center [/b][/color]of the circle shown. [br][b]Point [i]D[/i] is a point that lies ON this circle. [/b][br][color=#1e84cc][b]Point [i]A[/i] is a point that ALWAYS LIES INSIDE[/b] [/color]the circle. (You can move it anywhere you'd like). [br]The [color=#ff00ff][b]pink line[/b][/color] is the [color=#ff00ff][b]perpendicular bisector[/b][/color] of the segment with endpoints [i]A[/i] and [i]D[/i]. [br][br]Drag [b]point [i]D[/i][/b] around the circle a few times. What do you see? Describe in detail! [br] [br]Feel free to alter the locations of [i][color=#1e84cc][b]A[/b][/color][/i] and [i][color=#1e84cc][b]R[/b][/color]. [/i]Then clear the trace and drag [b]point [i]D[/i][/b] around again. [br][br]Why does this occur?

Parallelogram Creation Exercises (I)

[color=#000000]In the applets below, 3 vertices of a parallelogram are shown.[br]The coordinates (x,y) of these vertices are also displayed as well. [br][br]In each task below, determine the coordinates of each parallelogram's 4th vertex. [br]Plot this point in the coordinate plane. [br]Feel free to use any of the tools of the limited toolbar when doing so. [br]Then, use the Polygon tool to construct the parallelogram.[br][br]Afterwards, use any of the tools of each applet's limited toolbar to clearly show that the quadrilateral you've constructed is indeed a parallelogram.

Midpoint and Endpoint Coordinates Action!

Here, point A is an endpoint and point M is a midpoint. Move A and M where you'd like and slide the slider to find the other endpoint (B).
