Question

Identify the graph of x^2-8y=0 for theta=90º and write and equation of the translated or rotated graph in general form.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is parabola; (y')² - 8x' = 0 ⇒ answer (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

* At first lets talk about the general form of the conic equation

- Ax² + Bxy + Cy²  + Dx + Ey + F = 0

∵ B² - 4AC < 0 , if a conic exists, it will be either a circle or an ellipse.

∵ B² - 4AC = 0 , if a conic exists, it will be a parabola.

∵ B² - 4AC > 0 , if a conic exists, it will be a hyperbola.

* Now we will study our equation:

* x² - 8y = 0

∵ A = 1 , B = 0 , C =

∴ B² - 4AC = (0)² - 4(1)(0) = 0

∵ B² - 4AC = 0

∴ it will be a parabola.

∵ Ф = 90°

* The point (x , Y) will be (x' , y')

∵ x = x'cosФ - y'sinФ and y = x'sinФ + y'cosФ

∵ cos(90) = 0 and sin(90) = 1

∴ x = -y' and y = x'

* lets substitute x and y in the first equation

∴ (-y')² - 8(x') = 0

∴ (y')² - 8x' = 0

* We notice that the x' took the place of y and y' took the place of x

∴ The parabola rotated around the origin by 90°

∴ The equation of the parabola is (y')² - 8x' = 0

* The answer is parabola, with angle of rotation 90°

* The equation is (y')² - 8x' = 0

* Look to the graph

- The blue is x² - 8y = 0

- The green is (y')² - 8x' = 0
