Consider the following sequence of problems related to grazing goats tied to a rope. A circular concrete slab of unit radius is surrounded by grass. A goat is tied to the edge of the slab with a rope of length \(0 \leq a \leq 2\) (see figure). What is the area of the grassy region that the goat can graze? Note that the rope can extend over the concrete slab. Check your answer with the special cases \(a=0\) and \(a=2\)
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 parabolas. Specify the location of the focus and the equation of the directrix. Use a graphing utility to check your work. $$x^{2}=12 y$$
Graph the following equations. Then use arrows and labeled points to indicate how the curve is generated as \(\theta\) increases from 0 to \(2 \pi\). $$r=\frac{1}{1+\sin \theta}$$
A focal chord of a conic section is a line through a focus joining two points of the curve. The latus rectum is the focal chord perpendicular to the major axis of the conic. Prove the following properties. The length of the latus rectum of a hyperbola centered at the ori\(\operatorname{gin}\) is \(2 b^{2} / a=2 b \sqrt{e^{2}-1}\)
