Rotation

We have learned that the equation of a conic with axes parallel to one of the coordinate axes has a standard form that can be written in the general form

Ax2 + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0.

In this section, you will study the equations of conics whose axes are rotated so that they are not parallel to either the x-axis or the y-axis.

The general equation for such conics contains an xy-term.

Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

Horizontal or vertical axis

Rotation

To eliminate this xy-term, you can use a procedure called rotation of axes. The objective is to rotate the x- and y-axes until they are parallel to the axes of the conic.

The rotated axes are denoted as the x-axis and the y-axis, as shown in Figure 10.44.

Rotation

After the rotation, the equation of the conic in the newxy-plane will have the form

A(x)2 + C(y)2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0.

Because this equation has no xy-term, you can obtain a standard form by completing the square.

Rotation

The following theorem identifies how much to rotate the axes to eliminate the xy-term and also the equations for determining the new coefficients A, C, D, E, and F.

Example 1 – Rotation of Axes for a Hyperbola

Write the equation xy – 1 = 0 in standard form.

Solution:

Because A = 0, B = 1, and C = 0, you have

Example 1 – Solution

To find the coordinates of the vertices in the xy-system,

substitute the coordinates in the equations

This substitution yields the vertices (1, 1) and (–1, –1) in the xy-system.

Note also that the asymptotes of the hyperbola have equations y = x, which correspond to the original x- and y-axes.

Invariants Under Rotation

In the rotation of axes theorem listed at the beginning of this section, note that the constant term is the same in bothequations, F= F. Such quantities are invariant under rotation.

The next theorem lists some other rotation invariants.

Invariants Under Rotation

You can use the results of this theorem to classify the graph of a second-degree equation with an xy-term in much the same way you do for a second-degree equation without an xy-term.

Note that because B = 0, the invariant B2 – 4AC reduces to

B2 – 4AC = – 4AC.

This quantity is called the discriminant of the equation

Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0.

Invariants Under Rotation

Now, from the classification procedure, you know that the

sign of AC determines the type of graph for the equation

A(x)2 + C(y)2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0.

Invariants Under Rotation

Consequently, the sign of B2 – 4AC will determine the type

of graph for the original equation, as given in the following

classification.

Invariants Under Rotation

For example, in the general equation

3x2 + 7xy + 5y2 – 6x – 7y + 15 = 0

you have A = 3, B = 7, and C = 5. So the discriminant is

B2 – 4AC = 72 – 4(3)(5) = 49 – 60 = –11.

Because –11 < 0, the graph of the equation is an ellipse ora circle.

Example 4 – Rotation and Graphing Utilities

For each equation, classify the graph of the equation, use the Quadratic Formula to solve for y, and then use a graphing utility to graph the equation.

a. 2x2 – 3xy + 2y2 – 2x = 0

b. x2 – 6xy + 9y2 – 2y + 1 = 0

c. 3x2 + 8xy + 4y2 – 7 = 0

Example 4(a) – Solution

Because B2 – 4AC = 9 – 16 < 0, the graph is a circle or an

ellipse. Solve for y as follows.

Write original equation.
