Before solving problems involving conic sections, it is a must that we know what algebraic operations can bedone with their equations. In the previous modules, we've done finding the discriminant, squaring, completingthe square, rewriting from one form to another, etc. One thing we haven't done yet is "evaluation".To evaluate these conic equations, we simply substitute their variables with constants, perform any operationand then simplify.Example 1.The height of a semi-circular twnnel is 24 ft at the center. What is itsheight 12 ft away from the center?It is obvious that this problem deals with a cirde, so we use itsequation (x – h)² + (y – k)? = r² to solve this problem. From theproblem, we know the radius r = 24 ft. Since the center (h, k) is unknown in the problem, we assume that itis located at (0, 0) and that h = 0, and k = 0. This makes the equation (x – 0)² + (y – 0)² = 24°. This can befurther simplified resulting in a shorter equation that is x² + y² = 576. Looking at the illustration, we canobserve that the part of the circle where x is at zero (x = 0), y is at 24 (y = 24). That means we have to findy when x is at 12. To do this, we evaluate the equation using 12 as a value of x.Solution:12, 20.78)x + y = 576122 + y = 576144 + y? - 576Y? = 576 – 144Y = 4321818141220.7810Y = /432Y = 20.78 When x = 12, y = 20.78 and 20.78 ftis the height of the tunnel 12 ft awayfrom the center.(12. 0)16 18 20This example is for circles but the same principle can be applied to other types.
