IntroductionA theorem is statement that is shown to be true. Some important theorems have names, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, but many theorems do not have names. In this lesson, we will apply various geometric and algebraic concepts to prove and disprove statements involving circles and parabolas in a coordinate plane. If a statement is proven, it is a theorem. If a statement is disproved, it is not a theorem.

Introduction, continuedThe directions for most problems will have the form “Prove or disprove…,” meaning we will work through those problems to discover whether each statement is true or false. Then, at the end of the work, we will state whether we have proved or disproved the statement.

Key Concepts• A theorem is any statement that is proven or can be

proved to be true.

• The standard form of an equation of a circle with

center (h, k) and radius r is (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r 2. This

is based on the fact that any point (x, y) is on the

circle if and only if

Key Concepts, continued

• Completing the square is the process of determining

the value of and adding it to x2 + bx to form the

perfect square trinomial

• A quadratic function can be represented by an equation of the form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a ≠ 0.

Page 5: Introduction A theorem is statement that is shown to be true. Some important theorems have names, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, but many theorems do

Key Concepts, continued• The graph of any quadratic function is a parabola that

opens up or down.

• A parabola is the set of all points that are equidistant from a fixed line, called the directrix, and a fixed point not on that line, called the focus.

• The parabola, directrix, and focus are all in the same plane.

Page 6: Introduction A theorem is statement that is shown to be true. Some important theorems have names, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, but many theorems do

Key Concepts, continued• The distance between the focus and a point on the

parabola is the same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

• The vertex of the parabola is the point on the parabola that is closest to the directrix.

• Every parabola is symmetric about a line called the axis of symmetry.

Page 7: Introduction A theorem is statement that is shown to be true. Some important theorems have names, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, but many theorems do

Key Concepts, continued• The axis of symmetry intersects the parabola at the

vertex.

• The x-coordinate of the vertex is

• The y-coordinate of the vertex is

• The standard form of an equation of a parabola that opens up or down and has vertex (h, k) is (x – h)2 = 4p(y – k), where p ≠ 0 and p is the distance between the vertex and the focus and between the vertex and the directrix. 7

Page 8: Introduction A theorem is statement that is shown to be true. Some important theorems have names, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, but many theorems do

Key Concepts, continued• Parabolas that open up or down represent functions,

and their equations can be written in either of the following forms: y = ax2 + bx + c or (x – h)2 = 4p(y – k). If one form is known, the other can be found.

• The standard form of an equation of a parabola that opens right or left and has vertex (h, k) is (y – k)2 = 4p(x – h), where p ≠ 0 and p is the distance between the vertex and the focus and between the vertex and the directrix.

Page 9: Introduction A theorem is statement that is shown to be true. Some important theorems have names, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, but many theorems do

Key Concepts, continued• In any parabola:

• The focus and directrix are each |p| units from the vertex.

• The focus and directrix are 2|p| units from each other.

Common Errors/Misconceptions• neglecting to square the radius for the equation of the

circle • using the equation of a parabola that opens up or down

for a parabola that opens left or right, and vice versa

Guided Practice: Example 1, continued

1. Draw a circle on a coordinate plane using the given information. You do not yet know if point A lies on the circle, so don’t include it in your diagram.

In the diagram that follows, the name P is assigned to the origin and G is assigned to the known point on the circle.

To help in plotting points, you can use a calculator to find decimal approximations.

2. Find the radius of the circle using the distance formula. Use the known points, P and G, to determine the radius of the circle.

Distance formula

Substitute (0, 0) and for (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).

Page 15: Introduction A theorem is statement that is shown to be true. Some important theorems have names, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, but many theorems do

Guided Practice: Example 1, continued

The radius of the circle is 6 units.

For point A to be on the circle, it must be precisely 6 units away from the center of the circle.

3. Find the distance of point A from the center P to determine whether it is on the circle. The coordinates of point P are (0, 0).

The coordinates of point A are (–6, 0).

Guided Practice: Example 1, continued

Point A is 6 units from the center, and since the radius of the circle is 6 units, point A is on the circle.

Guided Practice: Example 2, continued

2. Derive an equation of the parabola from its graph. The parabola opens up, so it represents a function. Therefore, its equation can be written in either of these forms: y = ax2 + bx + c or (x – h)2 = 4p(y – k). We were given a vertex and a point on the parabola; therefore, we’ll use the form (x – h)2 = 4p(y – k) and the vertex to begin deriving the equation.

Page 23: Introduction A theorem is statement that is shown to be true. Some important theorems have names, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, but many theorems do

Guided Practice: Example 2, continued

The vertex is (–4, 0), so h = –4 and k = 0.

The equation of the parabola is (x + 4)2 = 4py.

Standard form of an equation for a parabola that opens up or down

Substitute the vertex (–4, 0) into the equation.

Simplify, but do not expand the binomial.

3. Substitute the given point on the parabola into the standard form of the equation to solve for p.The point given is (0, 8).

Guided Practice: Example 2, continued

4. Use the value of p to determine the focus.

p is positive, so the focus is directly above the vertex.

p = , so the focus is unit above the vertex.

The vertex is (–4, 0), so the focus is

Page 26: Introduction A theorem is statement that is shown to be true. Some important theorems have names, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, but many theorems do

Guided Practice: Example 2, continuedThis result disproves the statement that the quadratic function graph with vertex (–4, 0) and passing through (0, 8) has its focus at (–4, 1).

The statement has been disproved, so it is not a theorem.

Instead, the following statement has been proved:

passing through (0, 8) has its focus at
