of telescope The curved mirror needs to focus all the light to a single point that we will call the focus An angled flat mirror is placed near this point and reflects the light to the eyepiece of the telescope The reflected light needs to arrive at the focus at the same time Otherwise the image is distorted Definition A parabola with directrix 𝐿 and focus point 𝐹 is the set of all points in the plane that are equidistant from the point 𝐹 and line 𝐿 Figure 2 to the right illustrates this definition of a parabola In this diagram 𝐹𝑃1 𝑃1𝑄1 𝐹𝑃2 𝑃2𝑄2 𝐹𝑃3 𝑃3𝑄3 showing that for any point 𝑃 on the parabola the distance between 𝑃 and 𝐹 is equal to the distance between 𝑃 and the line 𝐿 All parabolas have the reflective property illustrated in Figure 3 Rays parallel to the axis reflect off the parabola and through the focus point 𝐹 Thus a mirror shaped like a rotated parabola would satisfy Newtons requirements for his telescope design Szőcs Tamás Figure 1 Figure 3 Figure 2 NYS COMMON CORE

segments representing the reflected light with one endpoint on the curved mirror that is a parabola and the other endpoint at the focus Anywhere the light hits this type of parabolic surface it always reflects to the focus 𝐹 at exactly the same time Figure 5 shows the same image with a directrix Imagine for a minute that the mirror was not there Then the light would arrive at the directrix all at the same time Since the distance from each point on the parabolic mirror to the directrix is the same as the distance from the point on the mirror to the focus and the speed of light is constant it takes the light the same amount of time to travel to the focus as it would have taken it to travel to the directrix In the diagram this means that 𝐴𝐹 𝐴𝐹𝐴 𝐵𝐹 𝐵𝐹𝐵 and so on Thus the light rays arrive at

with equation 𝑦 1 4 𝑥2 1 derived in Example 1 to the graph of the parabola in part a 14 Derive the analytic equation of a parabola with focus 010 and directrix on the 𝑥axis ai The complex number z a bi can be expressed in polar form as z r cos θ i sin θ Where r z is the modulus or magnitude of the complex number and it represents the distance from the origin to the point z in the complex plane θ is the argument or angle of the complex number and it represents the angle that the line connecting the origin to the point z makes with the positive real axis α r cos θ is the real part of z b r sin θ is the imaginary part of z aii Given r 3 and θ 90 we can interpret this as follows The magnitude r 3 means that the point is 3 units away from the origin The angle θ 90 means that the point lies along the positive imaginary axis because an angle of 90 from the positive real axis is straight up along the imaginary axis Thus the point z would be plotted at a distance of 3 units above the origin on the imaginary axis or at 0 3 in Cartesian coordinates aiii To convert from polar to rectangular form we use the following formulas a r cos θ b r sin θ Substituting r 3 and θ 90 or θ π2 radians into these formulas a 3 cos 90 3 0 0 b 3 sin 90 3 1 3 So the rectangular form of z is z a bi 0 3i 3i This confirms that z lies on the imaginary axis at 0 3 which matches the location we found in part ii It is 3 units above the origin as expected when r 3 and θ 90 bi i What does z represent graphically Why The given complex number is in polar form z 3 cos θ i sin θ This form represents a complex number where the modulus or magnitude is r 3 and the argument or angle θ varies between 0 and 360 Graphically this set of points represents a circle in the complex plane The center of the circle is at the origin since theres no constant term shifting the position of z The radius of the circle is 3 because r 3 As θ takes on values from 0 to 360 the complex number z traces out every point on the circle with radius 3 centered at the origin This is because the pair cos θ sin θ defines points on a unit circle and multiplying by 3 scales the unit circle to a circle with radius 3 bii ii What does z represent geometrically Geometrically z represents a circle in the complex plane with A radius of 3 since r 3 this is the distance from the origin to any point on the circle The center at the origin because there are no real or imaginary parts added to shift the circle away from the origin This is the locus or set of all points that are exactly 3 units away from the origin in the complex plane As θ varies from 0 to 360 the points on this circle sweep around the origin forming the complete circle ci i Plot z 5 cosθ 3i sinθ for θ 0 90 180 270 360 This form of z looks like an ellipse equation in the complex plane because the coefficients of cosθ and sinθ are different The complex number can be interpreted as z x yi Where x 5 cosθ this represents the real part y 3 sinθ this represents the imaginary part Lets calculate z for the given values of θ Lets calculate z for the given values of θ 1 For θ 0 z 5 cos0 3i sin0 5 0i 5 The point is 5 0 2 For θ 90 z 5 cos90 3i sin90 0 3i 3i The point is 0 3 3 For θ 180 z 5 cos180 3i sin180 5 0i 5 The point is 5 0 4 For θ 270 z 5 cos270 3i sin270 0 3i 3i The point is 0 3 5 For θ 360 z 5 cos360 3i sin360 5 0i 5 The point is 5 0 which is the same as for θ 0 Conjecture based on the plot If we plot the points 5 0 0 3 5 0 0 3 it suggests that the graph is an ellipse The major axis the longer axis is along the real axis with length 10 since it stretches from 5 to 5 and the minor axis the shorter axis is along the imaginary axis with length 6 stretching from 3i to 3i Thus my conjecture is that the set of complex numbers z 5 cosθ 3i sinθ describes an ellipse centered at the origin with A major axis of length 10 along the real axis A minor axis of length 6 along the imaginary axis cii ii Compare this graph to the graph of z 3cosθ i sinθ The graph of z 3cosθ i sinθ represents a circle with a radius of 3 centered at the origin This circle is symmetric in both the real and imaginary directions with the same distance 3 units from the origin in all directions The key difference between the two graphs is the shape The graph of z 5 cosθ 3i sinθ is an ellipse where the real and imaginary parts are stretched differently 5 units along the real axis and 3 units along the imaginary axis The graph of z 3cosθ i sinθ is a circle where the real and imaginary parts are scaled equally 3 units in both directions Conjecture about the differences The difference in the shape between the ellipse and the circle is due to the coefficients of cosθ and sinθ In the ellipse 5 cosθ and 3 sinθ scale the real and imaginary components unequally leading to different distances along the real and imaginary axes thus forming an ellipse In the circle both the real and imaginary components are scaled equally by 3 so the distance from the origin is the same in all directions forming a circle The presence of unequal coefficients 5 for cosθ and 3 for sinθ stretches the shape along the real and imaginary axes differently resulting in an ellipse Graphs of z 5 cosθ 3i sinθ Ellipse and z 3cosθ i sinθ Circle Here are the plots of the two complex functions The blue curve represents the ellipse described by z 5 cosθ 3i sinθ with a major axis of 10 units along the real axis and a minor axis of 6 units along the imaginary axis The red dashed curve represents the circle described by z 3cosθ i sinθ which has a radius of 3 units 1 a In this context the complex number z x yi can be represented as an ordered pair x y where x is the real part of z which is given by 5 cosθ y is the imaginary part of z which is given by 3 sinθ Thus the ordered pair representation of z in the coordinate plane is x y 5 cosθ 3 sinθ This pair describes the xcoordinate as 5 cosθ and the ycoordinate as 3 sinθ corresponding to different values of θ between 0 and 360 b The ordered pair x y 5 costheta 3 sintheta represents parametric equations for an ellipse To write a Cartesian equation for this ellipse we need to eliminate the parameter theta Heres how we do it 1 From the parametric equations x 5 costheta y 3 sintheta 2 Solve each equation for costheta and sintheta costheta x5 sintheta y3 3 Use the Pythagorean identity cos2theta sin2theta 1 x52 y32 1 This gives us the equation of the ellipse x225 y29 1 Step 1 Interpret z in terms of ordered pairs The complex number z x yi can be expressed as an ordered pair x y where x sqrt2costheta is the real part y sintheta is the imaginary part Thus the ordered pair representation of the points is x y sqrt2costheta sintheta Step 2 Eliminate theta using trigonometric identities We need to find a relationship between x and y that eliminates the parameter Theta 1 From the parametric equations x sqrt2costheta y sintheta 2 Solve for costheta and sintheta costheta xsqrt2 sintheta y 3 Use the Pythagorean identity cos2theta sin2theta 1 xsqrt22 y2 1 Step 3 Simplify the equation x22 y2 1 This is the equation of an ellipse in standard form where The semimajor axis along the real axis is sqrt2 The semiminor axis along the imaginary axis is 1 Graph of the Ellipse x29 y226 1 Imaginary part y Real part x a The graph above represents the ellipse described by the equation x29 y226 1 This ellipse has A semimajor axis along the imaginary axis with a length of sqrt26 approximately 51 A semiminor axis along the real axis with a length of 3 b Rewriting the equation of the ellipse in complex form The general form of an ellipse in complex terms is given by z a costheta ib sintheta Where a and b are the semimajor and semiminor axes respectively For the given ellipse The semiminor axis along the real axis is a 3 The semimajor axis along the imaginary axis is b sqrt26 Thus the complex form of the equation is z 3 costheta i sqrt26 sintheta This represents the same ellipse in the complex plane where z x yi is a complex number Problem set 1 a z 4 cosθ 9i sinθ Real part x 4 cosθ Imaginary part y 9 sinθ So the real form is x y 4 cosθ 9 sinθ b z 6 cosθ i sinθ Real part x 6 cosθ Imaginary part y

The presence of the xy term in the equation of a conic section indicates that the axes of the conic section are rotated relative to the standard coordinate axes The xy term introduces a crossproduct that causes the orientation of the conic section to change To elaborate Ellipse If the equation of an ellipse has an xy term then the major and minor axes of the ellipse are rotated with respect to the x and yaxes Hyperbola If the equation of a hyperbola has an xy term then its asymptotes are rotated with respect to the x and yaxes Parabola If the equation of a parabola has an xy term then the axis of symmetry of the parabola is tilted with respect to the x and yaxes In general the effect of the xy term is to rotate the conic section By applying a rotation of axes you can eliminate the xy term and simplify the equation of the conic section This makes it easier to analyze and graph The rotation transformation typically involves substituting x X cos θ Y sin θ y X sin θ Y cos θ where θ is the angle of rotation necessary to eliminate the xy term The appropriate angle of rotation θ can be found using the formula θ 12 arctan B A C Here A B and C come from the general form of the conic section equation Ax2 Bxy Cy2 Dx Ey F 0 33 If the equation of a conic section is written in the form Ax2 By2 Cx Dy E 0 and AB 0 it means that either A 0 or B 0 or possibly both Lets explore each case Case 1 A 0 B 0 The equation becomes By2 Cx Dy E 0 This equation represents a parabola When A 0 there is no x2 term indicating that the conic section opens either upwards or downwards depending on the sign and value of B This shape is a vertical parabola Case 2 B 0 A 0 The equation becomes Ax2 Cx Dy E 0 This equation represents another form of a parabola Here there is no y2 term indicating that the conic section opens either to the left or right depending on the sign and value of A This shape is a horizontal parabola Case 3 A 0 and B 0 The equation becomes Cx Dy E 0 This equation is a linear equation which represents a line Thus for any case where AB 0 the conic section is a parabola either vertical or horizontal If both A and B are zero simultaneously the equation represents a line not a conic section in the traditional sense 34 Carrie made a mistake when she converted z 7 cosθ 4i sinθ to x27 y24 1 This equation is incorrect because The semimajor axis should be squared The correct

determines the type of conic section represented by the equation Specifically If B2 4AC 0 the conic section is a hyperbola If B2 4AC 0 the conic section is a parabola If B2 4AC 0 the conic section is an ellipse and if A C and B 0 it is a circle Thus in this case where B2 4AC 0 it definitively indicates that the conic section described by the given equation is a hyperbola Given the equation ax2 4x

determine the type of conic section using the discriminant Δ given by B2 4AC Δ 02 4a3 12a Notice that since a 0 we have 12a 0 Since Δ B2 4AC 0 the equation represents an ellipse Therefore if a 0 the given equation ax2 4x 3y2 12 0 describes an ellipse For the equation Ax2 Bxy Cy2 Dx Ey F 0 the value of θ that satisfies cot2θ A C B provides the angle of rotation needed to eliminate the xy term from the equation This transformation aligns the coordinate axes with the principal axes of the conic section described by the equation By rotating the coordinate system by this angle θ the xy term is removed and the equation takes on a simpler form typically without the xy crossproduct term making it easier to identify and analyze the conic section ellipse hyperbola or parabola Specifically this
