## Key concepts

• Four basic shapes can result from the intersection of a plane with a pair of right circular cones connected tail to tail. They include an ellipse, a circle, a hyperbola, and a parabola.
• A nondegenerate conic section has the general form $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}A{x}^{2}+Bxy+C{y}^{2}+Dx+Ey+F=0\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ where $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}A,B\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}C\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ are not all zero. The values of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}A,B,$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}C\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ determine the type of conic. See [link] .
• Equations of conic sections with an $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}xy\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ term have been rotated about the origin. See [link] .
• The general form can be transformed into an equation in the $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{x}^{\prime }\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{y}^{\prime }\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ coordinate system without the $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{x}^{\prime }{y}^{\prime }\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ term. See [link] and [link] .
• An expression is described as invariant if it remains unchanged after rotating. Because the discriminant is invariant, observing it enables us to identify the conic section. See [link] .

## Verbal

What effect does the $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}xy\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ term have on the graph of a conic section?

The $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}xy\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ term causes a rotation of the graph to occur.

If the equation of a conic section is written in the form $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}A{x}^{2}+B{y}^{2}+Cx+Dy+E=0\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}AB=0,$ what can we conclude?

If the equation of a conic section is written in the form $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}A{x}^{2}+Bxy+C{y}^{2}+Dx+Ey+F=0,$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{B}^{2}-4AC>0,$ what can we conclude?

The conic section is a hyperbola.

Given the equation $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a{x}^{2}+4x+3{y}^{2}-12=0,$ what can we conclude if $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}a>0?$

For the equation $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}A{x}^{2}+Bxy+C{y}^{2}+Dx+Ey+F=0,$ the value of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ that satisfies $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{cot}\left(2\theta \right)=\frac{A-C}{B}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ gives us what information?

It gives the angle of rotation of the axes in order to eliminate the $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}xy\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ term.

what is a reciprocal
The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by a number. eg the reciprocal of 10 is 1/10 which is 0.1
Shemmy
Reciprocal is a pair of numbers that, when multiplied together, equal to 1. Example; the reciprocal of 3 is ⅓, because 3 multiplied by ⅓ is equal to 1
