Math Problem Statement

Solve and plot the following Conic Sections. Show your solution

(x - 6)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 16 (x + 5)^2 + (y - 4.5)^2 = 1 (x - 5)^2 + (y - 4.5)^2 = 1 100x^2 + 100(y+16)^2 = 100 x^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 600

Solution

Here is the plot of the five conic sections, all of which are circles:

  1. The red circle has a center at (6,5)(6, 5) and a radius of 4.
  2. The green circle has a center at (5,4.5)(-5, 4.5) and a radius of 1.
  3. The blue circle has a center at (5,4.5)(5, 4.5) and a radius of 1.
  4. The orange circle has a center at (0,16)(0, -16) and a radius of 1.
  5. The purple circle has a center at (0,12)(0, -12) and a large radius of approximately 24.49.

Let me know if you'd like further details or explanations on any of the steps.

Tip: Remember, the key difference between a circle and an ellipse is that a circle has equal axes (radii), while an ellipse has two different axes (semi-major and semi-minor).
