Circle

Basic Concepts of a Circle

Center
(h, k)
○ Point wherein all points in a circle are equidistant to
○ Formula if given the ends of a diameter
( )
Circumference
○ Curve that bounds the circle
Diameter
○ Line crossing the circle and passing through the center
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
Radius
○ Straight line drawn from the center to the boundary line or

Pre-Calculus Page 1
 ○ Straight line drawn from the center to the boundary line or
circumference
○ Length is half of the length of the diameter
Chord
○ Straight line joining two points on the circumference points of a
circle
Arc
○ Part of the circumference between two points or a continuous
piece of a circle

Standard Equation of a Circle with center at (h, k) and

radius (r)
(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2

Conic Sections - Ellipse

- Formed by a plane intersecting a cone at an angle to its base
- Set of all points P on a plane such that the sum of its distances from two
fixed points is a constant
- Two fixed points, usually denoted by f1 and f2 are called the foci

Standard Equation of an Ellipse with Center at (h, k)

Basic Concepts of an Ellipse

Center
(h, k)
- Point in the middle of an ellipse
Foci (c)

- Two points located on the major axis

- have the same distance from the center
Horizontal Distance from center to graph
a
Pre-Calculus Page 3
 a
- Denoted by a
- Denominator with the higher value
Vertical distance from center to graph
b
- Denoted by b
- Denominator with the lower value
Major Axis
- Longest segment across the graph of an ellipse with endpoints called
the vertices
Minor Axis
- Segment perpendicular to and bisecting the major axis, with endpoints
on the ellipse
Latus Rectum

- straight line passing through the foci of ellipse and perpendicular to the
major axis of ellipse
Horizontal Ellipse

- Major axis is horizontal

- Vertex Formula
○ h ± a, k
- Co - Vertex Formula
○ h, k ± b
Vertical Ellipse

- Major axis is vertical

- Vertex Formula
○ h, k ± a
- Co-Vertex Formula
h ± b, k
