Prior to the th centur, astronomers believed the orbit of the planets around the sun was circular. In the earl th centur, Johannes Kepler discovered that the orbital path was elliptical and the sun was not at the center of the orbit, but at one of the two foci. An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane such that the sum of the distances from each point to two fied points, called foci, is a constant. The center of an ellipse is the midpoint of the segment which has the foci as its endpoints. The major (longer) ais of an ellipse contains the foci and the center and has endpoints on the ellipse, the vertices. The minor ais of the ellipse is the line segment perpendicular to the major ais which passes through the center of the ellipse and has endpoints on the ellipse. Minor Ais Vertices.

SUGGESTED LEARNING STRATEGIES: Activating Prior Knowledge, Vocabular Organizer, Quickwrite, Close Reading, Graphic Organizer Recall the definitions of ellipse and hperbola: An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane such that the sum of their distances to two fied points is a constant. A hperbola is the set of all points in a plane such that the absolute value of the difference of their distances to two fied points, the foci, is a constant. The ellipse + = 0 and the hperbola - = 0 are graphed on the right. 0 0 M Notes ACTIVITY. ACTIVITY.

Tell the coordinates of the center and the endpoints of the major and minor aes of the ellipse. Center: (0, 0); Endpoints of major ais: (, 0), (, 0); Endpoints of minor ais: (0, ), (0, ). a. Using dashed line segments draw an auiliar rectangle with vertices (, ), (, -), (-, ), and (-, -). Also using dashed lines, draw two diagonal lines that pass through the center and vertices of the rectangle and etend to the edges of the grid. b. What relationships do the rectangle and lines have to the ellipse and hperbola? Answers ma var. Sample answer: The lines go through the center of the ellipse and the branches of the hperbola approach the lines. The ellipse is enclosed within the rectangle. The ellipse and the hperbola have their vertices on the rectangle. c. Wh are dashed lines used when sketching the rectangle and diagonals of the rectangle? Answers ma var. Sample answer: Since the lines are onl used to help draw the relation and are not part of it, the should not be drawn as solid lines. The transverse ais of a hperbola has endpoints on the hperbola. The center of a hperbola is the midpoint of the transverse ais. The foci are on the line containing the transverse ais. The conjugate ais of the hperbola is the line segment perpendicular to the transverse ais passing through the center of the hperbola. The hperbola has asmptotes, lines which the branches of the hperbola approach. The asmptotes contain the center of the hperbola and pass through the vertices of the auiliar rectangle.

Quickwrite Students need to recognize that the tools that are used to help graph relations are not part of the relation itself. Second Paragraph Close Reading, Graphic Organizer, Vocabular Organizer, Interactive Word Wall It ma be helpful to use a graphic organizer to arrange the vocabular. Students should draw a picture of a hperbola, and place terms where the belong. This will help to make connections to the concepts the are pulling from the reading and make the ideas more concrete. 0 College Board. All rights reserved.

Parabolas A Parabola on the Roof SUGGESTED LEARNING STRATEGIES: Shared Reading, Questioning the Tet, Marking the Tet, Vocabular Organizer, Create Representations In previous units ou learned about quadratic functions. The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola, one of the conic sections ou have studied in this unit. In this activit, ou will learn more about geometric properties of parabolas, their applications in real world settings, and how to recognize and graph them. Man people have a parabola on the roof of their homes. The satellite television dishes used to detect television signals are parabolic reflectors. The reason these dishes are shaped like a parabola is due to the following geometric propert of a parabola. When an line parallel to the ais of a parabola hits its surface, the line is reflected through the focus. M Notes ACTIVITY. ACTIVITY.

The overall signal is amplified when the individual signals are all reflected to the focus point, where the actual antenna is located at 0. A parabola is the set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a fied point and a fied line. The fied point is called the focus and the fied line is called the directri.. Graph =.. 0.
