  1. Think About a Plan An ellipse has center (3, 2), one vertex (9, 2), and one co-vertex open 3 comma negative 1 close .  Sketch its graph. Then write its equation.
    • How can the sketch help you write the equation?
    • What information do you need to write the equation?
  2. Reasoning Use the equation eh x squared , plus b x y plus , c y squared , plus d x plus e y plus f equals 0  to identify the shape of the graph that results in each case.
    1. eh equals c equals d equals e equals 0 comma b not equal to 0 comma f not equal to 0
    2. eh equals b equals c equals d equals 0 comma e not equal to 0 comma f not equal to 0

Sketch each conic section. Then write its equation.

  1. A parabola has vertex open 2 comma negative 3 close  and focus (2, 5).
  2. A hyperbola has center open 6 comma negative 3 close comma  one focus (6, 0), and one vertex open 6 comma negative 1 close .
  3. Theater Arts The director of a stage show asks you to design an elliptical platform. Her sketch shows the platform centered at (9, 7) from the front left corner of the stage. The platform has a 12-ft major axis parallel to the front edge of the stage and extends to within 3 ft of the edge. Write an equation that models the platform.

Write an equation for each graph.

  1. A vertical ellipse is centered at (1, negative 1). It passes through the points (1, 3), (4, negative 1), (1, negative 5), and (negative 2, negative 1). All values are approximate.
  2. A graph of a rightward-opening parabola falls through (5, negative 1) to a vertex at (1, negative 3), and then falls through (5, negative 5). The graph of x equals (3 over 4) is a vertical line that passes through (1, negative 3). All values are approximate.

The graph of each equation is to be translated 2 units left and 4 units up. Write each new equation.

  1. open x minus 2 close squared . plus . open y plus 4 close squared . equals 16
  2. fraction open , x minus 3 , close squared , over 64 end fraction . plus . fraction open , y minus 3 , close squared , over 36 end fraction . equals 1
  3. y equals , 2 x squared
  4. 9 , x squared , plus 3 x plus 10 equals , 16 y squared , plus 154 plus 3 x

Graph each pair of functions. Identify the conic section represented by the graph and write the functions as a single equation in standard form.
