  • Lesson 19: Equations for Tangent Lines to Circles
    NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM Lesson 19 M5 GEOMETRY Lesson 19: Equations for Tangent Lines to Circles Student Outcomes . Given a circle, students find the equations of two lines tangent to the circle with specified slopes. Given a circle and a point outside the circle, students find the equation of the line tangent to the circle from that point. Lesson Notes This lesson builds on the understanding of equations of circles in Lessons 17 and 18 and on the understanding of tangent lines developed in Lesson 11. Further, the work in this lesson relies on knowledge from Module 4 related to G-GPE.B.4 and G-GPE.B.5. Specifically, students must be able to show that a particular point lies on a circle, compute the slope of a line, and derive the equation of a line that is perpendicular to a radius. The goal is for students to understand how to find equations for both lines with the same slope tangent to a given circle and to find the equation for a line tangent to a given circle from a point outside the circle. Classwork Opening Exercise (5 minutes) Students are guided to determine the equation of a line perpendicular to a chord of a given circle. Opening Exercise A circle of radius ퟓ passes through points 푨(−ퟑ, ퟑ) and 푩(ퟑ, ퟏ). a. What is the special name for segment 푨푩? Segment 푨푩 is called a chord. b. How many circles can be drawn that meet the given criteria? Explain how you know. Scaffolding: Two circles of radius ퟓ pass through points 푨 and 푩.

Preface This book covers calculus of a single variable. It is suitable for a year-long (or two-semester) course, normally known as Calculus I and II in the United States. The prerequisites are high school or college algebra, geometry and trigonometry. The book is designed for students in engineering, physics, mathematics, chemistry and other sciences. One reason for writing this text was because I had already written its sequel, Vector Cal- culus. More importantly, I was dissatisfied with the current crop of calculus textbooks, which I feel are bloated and keep moving further away from the subject’s roots in physics. In addi- tion, many of the intuitive approaches and techniques from the early days of calculus—which I think often yield more insights for students—seem to have been lost.

  • Hyperquadrics
    CHAPTER VII HYPERQUADRICS Conic sections have played an important role in projective geometry almost since the beginning of the subject. In this chapter we shall begin by defining suitable projective versions of conics in the plane, quadrics in 3-space, and more generally hyperquadrics in n-space. We shall also discuss tangents to such figures from several different viewpoints, prove a geometric classification for conics similar to familiar classifications for ordinary conics and quadrics in R2 and R3, and we shall derive an enhanced duality principle for projective spaces and hyperquadrics. Finally, we shall use a mixture of synthetic and analytic methods to prove a famous classical theorem due to B. Pascal (1623{1662)1 on hexagons inscribed in plane conics, a dual theorem due to C. Brianchon (1783{1864),2 and several other closely related results. 1. Definitions The three familiar curves which we call the \conic sections" have a long history ... It seems that they will always hold a place in the curriculum. The beginner in analytic geometry will take up these curves after he has studied the circle. Whoever looks at a circle will continue to see an ellipse, unless his eye is on the axis of the curve. The earth will continue to follow a nearly elliptical orbit around the sun, projectiles will approximate parabolic orbits, [and] a shaded light will illuminate a hyperbolic arch. | J. L. Coolidge (1873{1954) In classical Greek geometry, conic sections were first described synthetically as intersections of a plane and a cone. On the other hand, today such curves are usually viewed as sets of points (x; y) in the Cartesian plane which satisfy a nontrivial quadratic equation of the form Ax2 + 2Bxy + Cy2 + 2D + 2E + F = 0 where at least one of A; B; C is nonzero.

  • Math 475 Final Oral Exam Fall 2014
    Math 475 Final Oral Exam Fall 2014 For the oral final exam, this list should not be viewed as exhaustive. Every question from what we've read and studied is \fair game." Nevertheless, what follows is a very decent guideline to help focus the mind in the two weeks ahead. You should consider the exercises in each section as being included. Usually, you will not be asked to prove things in complete form but rather be asked provide a sketch of the proof and/or an illustration of how and why a given theorem works. Contrarily to what one thinks, providing a decent sketch demands a deep level of understanding of the result and the need to constantly evaluate what's straightforward and beleivable to show versus what is substantive and central to the topic at hand. 2 For example, if one was to be asked about why three points not on a line in R lie on a unique circle, one should give a sketch of reason by using two \bisecting" lines and, as importantly from this sketch, one should be able to say why three points that are colinear cannot lie on a circle. The questions will closely follow the substance and style of the class tests which were very compre- hensive. Below is a guide to what to expect from the final exam. In the exam, I will ask you questions and you will use the board and/or paper; if it is clear that you know what is going on then I will move swiftly on to the next question.

    6 GEOMETRY 6 There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of spheres - Pythagoras 6.1 Introduction Introduction Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with Basic Proportionality Theorem the properties of various geometrical figures. The geometry which treats the properties and characteristics of various Angle Bisector Theorem geometrical shapes with axioms or theorems, without the Similar Triangles help of accurate measurements is known as theoretical Tangent chord theorem geometry. The study of geometry improves one’s power to Pythagoras theorem think logically. Euclid, who lived around 300 BC is considered to be the father of geometry. Euclid initiated a new way of thinking in the study of geometrical results by deductive reasoning based on previously proved results and some self evident specific assumptions called axioms or postulates. Geometry holds a great deal of importance in fields such as engineering and architecture. For example, many bridges that play an important role in our lives make use EUCLID (300 BC) of congruent and similar triangles. These triangles help Greece to construct the bridge more stable and enables the bridge to withstand great amounts of stress and strain. In the Euclid’s ‘Elements’ is one of the construction of buildings, geometry can play two roles; most influential works in the history one in making the structure more stable and the other in of mathematics, serving as the main enhancing the beauty. Elegant use of geometric shapes can text book for teaching mathematics turn buildings and other structures such as the Taj Mahal into especially geometry.

  • 1. Given Two Intersecting Circles of Radii R1 and R2 Such That the Distance Between Their Centers Is D and a Straight Line Tangent to Both Circles at Points a and B
    1. Given two intersecting circles of radii R1 and R2 such that the distance between their centers is d and a straight line tangent to both circles at points A and B. Find the length of the segment AB. Solution: (See figure below for references) Tangent lines to circles are perpendicular to their radii. Thus AB with the radii and the segment contacting the two circles' centers creates a quadrilateral with two right angles at A and B. A line through C (The center of one of the circles if they have equal radii or the center of the smaller circle) parallel to AB and hitting the other radius at E creates a rectangle ABCE and a right triangle CED. Note that CE and AB have the same length. Thus from the Pythagorean Theorem we have: p 2 2 AB = d − (R1 − R2) 2. What are the last two digits of 22012? Solution: Note that there are only 100 possibilities for the last two digits, 00 to 99, so it must start repeating. We will list the last two digits of the powers of two, starting with 1, to determine the pattern that emerges. The pattern should be apparent by 2102. Also, notice that multiplying the previous power of two's last two digits by 2 will provide the last two digits of the new power of two. Thus we do not need to find the actual power of 2. 21 ! 2 22 ! 4 23 ! 8 24 ! 16 25 ! 32 26 ! 64 27 ! 28 28 ! 56 29 ! 12 210 ! 24 211 ! 48 212 ! 96 213 ! 92 214 ! 84 215 ! 68 216 ! 36 217 ! 72 218 ! 44 219 ! 88 220 ! 76 221 ! 52 222 ! 04 We see that the last two digits start over at 222.

This is the first essay in a series to give credence to this claim on the MAA website, www.maa.org/math-competitions. For over six decades, the MAA AMC has been creating and sharing marvelous stand-alone mathematical tidbits. Take them out of their competition coverings and see opportunity after opportunity to engage in great conversation with your students. Everyone can revel in the true creative mathematical experience! I personally believe that the ultimate goal of the mathematics curriculum is to teach self-reliant thinking, critical questioning and the confidence to synthesize ideas and to re-evaluate them. Content, of course, is itself important, but content linked to thinking is the key. Our complex society is demanding of the next generation not only mastery of quantitative skills, but also the confidence to ask new questions, explore, wonder, flail, innovate and succeed. Welcome to these essays! We will demonstrate the power of mulling on interesting mathematics and develop the art of asking questions. We will help foster good problem solving skills, and joyfully reinforce ideas and methods from the mathematics curriculum. We will be explicit about links with goals of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Above all, we will show that deep and rich thinking of mathematics can be just plain fun! So on that note … Let’s get started! CONTENTS: Here we shall: a.
