PRECALCULUS FORMULAS Detailed

This document provides formulas and properties for conic sections including circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas. Circles can be defined using standard or general equations. Parabolas are defined using standard forms with vertex, axis of symmetry, focus, directrix, and latus rectum properties. Ellipses standard forms list properties like foci, vertices, conjugate and transverse axes, and eccentricity. Hyperbolas are defined for both centered at the origin and an arbitrary center, with transverse axis, vertices, conjugate axis, foci, and asymptotes properties given.

PARABOLA A = 0 or C = 0 4y2 – 2x + 8y + 10 = 0
ELLIPSE A and C have the same sign X2 + 3y2 – 4x + 6y – 13 = 0
HYPERBOLA A and C have opposite sign 5x2 – 4y2 – 10x + 16y – 25 = 0
