1. 9.6 Notes – General Form

2. Each of the four types of equations we have studied so far this chapter; circle, parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola, can be described by slicing a double-right circular cone. The most general form of any conic can be written as: In this general form, the capital letters are just coefficients and our goal will be to transform any equation of this type into a standard form that we recognize.

3. ShapeGeneral Form:Standard FormPicture Parabola: horizontal Parabola: vertical Features of graph: Clues for Identifying Conic Types: A = 0 Vertex: (h, k) Only y squared B = 0 Only x squared Additional Points:2d from focus a > 0 open up or right, a < 0 opens down or left

4. ShapeGeneral FormStandard FormPicture Circle Features of graph: Clues for Identifying Conic Types: A = B (same denominator) Center: (h, k) r = Radius

5. ShapeGeneral Form:Standard FormPicture Ellipse: horizontal Ellipse: vertical Features of graph: Clues for Identifying Conic Types: A  B Center: (h, k) Both positive a is always the biggest denominator A  B Both positive Foci: c 2 = a 2 – b 2

6. ShapeGeneral Form:Standard FormPicture Hyperbola: horizontal Hyperbola : vertical Features of graph: Clues for Identifying Conic Types: A  B Center: (h, k) One negative a is always first denominator, make rectangle and asymptotes A  B One negative Foci: c 2 = a 2 + b 2

7. ***Note: The vertex or center is always at __________. The h is with _____ and the k is with ________. When in parentheses, take the _____________. (h, k) xy opposite
