How does the eccentricity determine the type of conic section?
Let \(H\) be the right branch of the hyperbola \(x^{2}-y^{2}=1\) and let \(\ell\) be
the line \(y=m(x-2)\) that passes through the point (2,0) with slope \(m,\) where
\(-\infty
Sketch the graph of the following hyperbolas. Specify the coordinates of the vertices and foci, and find the equations of the asymptotes. Use a graphing utility to check your work. $$4 x^{2}-y^{2}=16$$
Sketch the graph of the following ellipses. Plot and label the coordinates of the vertices and foci, and find the lengths of the major and minor axes. Use a graphing utility to check your work. $$x^{2}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1$$
Graph the following conic sections, labeling the vertices, foci, directrices, and asymptotes (if they exist). Use a graphing utility to check your work. $$r=\frac{12}{3-\cos \theta}$$
