CONIC SECTIONS:
CIRCLES
Von Christopher G. Chua
Lets look back
What are the different conic sections? Describe
how each are formed as intersections of a double
right circular cone and a plane.
What is a circle?
What is the equation of a circle whose center is at
the origin?
What is the standard form of the equation of a
circle?
STANDARD FORM
of the equation of a
circle
The standard form of the equation of a circle whose
center is at the origin with radius, r, is
2 + 2 = 2

For any circle whose center have coordinates (h, k)


with radius, r, the standard form of its equation is
2 + 2 = 2
Session Objectives
For this two-hour period, SHS students in Precalculus
are expected to develop the following learning
illustrate the different types
competencies:
determine the standard
of conic sections form and general form of
define a circle;
the equation of a circle; and
graph a circle in a
rectangular coordinate
system.

printable format.
LOCATING POINTS
Consider the circle
represented by the

equation

Points may be divided into


three categories
depending on its position
with reference to the
IN, ON, or OUT
Consider the circle with equation,
+ 2 2 + 4 2 = 100
Determine the location of the following points relative
to the circle.

Problems Involving
Circles
A ferris wheel is elevated 1 m above ground.
When a car reaches the highest point on the
ferris wheel, its altitude from ground level is 31
m. How faraway from the center, horizontally,
is the car when it is at an altitude of 25 m?
Problems Involving
Circles
A seismological station is located at (0,3).
The epicenter of an earthquake was
determined to be 6 km away from the station.
Find the equation of the curve that contains
the possible location of the epicenter.
Problems Involving
Circles
A window is to be constructed as
shown, with its upper boundary the
arc of a circle having radius 4 ft and
center at the midpoint of base AD. If
