Conic Sections Angles
### Problem A1
Given the equation: $$y^2 - 25x^2 + 4y + 50x - 46 = 0$$
1. Rewrite the equation grouping $x$ and $y$ terms:
$$y^2 + 4y - 25x^2 + 50x = 46$$
2. Complete the square for $y$:
$$y^2 + 4y = (y + 2)^2 - 4$$
3. Complete the square for $x$:
$$-25x^2 + 50x = -25(x^2 - 2x) = -25[(x - 1)^2 - 1] = -25(x - 1)^2 + 25$$
4. Substitute back:
$$(y + 2)^2 - 4 - 25(x - 1)^2 + 25 = 46$$
5. Simplify:
$$(y + 2)^2 - 25(x - 1)^2 + 21 = 46$$
$$(y + 2)^2 - 25(x - 1)^2 = 25$$
6. Divide both sides by 25:
$$\frac{(y + 2)^2}{25} - (x - 1)^2 = 1$$
**Standard equation:** $$\frac{(y + 2)^2}{25} - (x - 1)^2 = 1$$
7. This is a hyperbola centered at $(1, -2)$ with vertical transverse axis.
8. Vertices: Move $a=5$ units along $y$ from center:
$$ (1, -2 \pm 5) = (1, 3) \text{ and } (1, -7)$$
9. Co-vertices: Move $b=1$ unit along $x$ from center:
$$ (1 \pm 1, -2) = (0, -2) \text{ and } (2, -2)$$
10. Foci: Use $c^2 = a^2 + b^2 = 25 + 1 = 26$, so $c = \sqrt{26}$
$$ (1, -2 \pm \sqrt{26})$$
11. Length of major (transverse) axis: $2a = 10$
12. Length of minor (conjugate) axis: $2b = 2$
13. Equations of asymptotes for vertical transverse axis:
$$ y = -2 \pm \frac{a}{b}(x -1) = -2 \pm 5(x - 1)$$
14. Eccentricity:
$$e = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{\sqrt{26}}{5}$$

### Problem A2
Given:
$$(x^2 / 144) - (y^2 / 49) = 1$$
This is a hyperbola centered at origin, horizontal transverse axis.
- $a^2 = 144 \Rightarrow a=12$
- $b^2=49 \Rightarrow b=7$
- Vertices: $( \pm 12, 0)$
- Co-vertices: $(0, \pm 7)$
- Foci: $c^2 = a^2 + b^2 = 144 + 49 = 193$, $c=\sqrt{193}$, foci at $(\pm \sqrt{193},0)$
- Major axis length: $2a=24$
- Minor axis length: $2b=14$

### Problem A3
Given:
$$(x^2/9) + (y^2/25) =1$$
Ellipse centered at origin, vertical major axis because $25>9$:
- $a^2=25, a=5$
- $b^2=9, b=3$
- Vertices: $(0, \pm 5)$
- Co-vertices: $(\pm 3, 0)$

- Foci at $(0, \pm 4)$
- Major axis length: $2a=10$
- Minor axis length: $2b=6$
- Eccentricity: $e = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{4}{5}$
- Ellipses do not have asymptotes

### Problem A4
Given:
$$x^2 - 2x + 4y^2 - 16y = -13$$
1. Complete the square for $x$:
$$x^2 - 2x = (x-1)^2 -1$$
2. Complete square for $y$:
$$4y^2 -16y = 4(y^2 -4y) = 4[(y-2)^2 -4] = 4(y-2)^2 -16$$
3. Substitute:
$$(x-1)^2 -1 + 4(y-2)^2 -16 = -13$$
4. Simplify:
$$(x-1)^2 + 4(y-2)^2 -17 = -13$$
$$(x-1)^2 + 4(y-2)^2 = 4$$
5. Divide by 4:
$$\frac{(x-1)^2}{4} + (y-2)^2 =1$$
This is an ellipse centered at $(1, 2)$ with horizontal major axis.
- Compare: $a^2=4$, $b^2=1$

$$690^\circ - 360^\circ = 330^\circ$$
2. Reference angle:
$$360^\circ - 330^\circ = 30^\circ$$
3. Coordinates at $330^\circ$ (unit circle):
$$(\cos 330^\circ, \sin 330^\circ) = \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, -\frac{1}{2}\right)$$
4. Six trigonometric function values:
- $$\sin 690^\circ = \sin 330^\circ = -\frac{1}{2}$$
- $$\cos 690^\circ = \cos 330^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$
- $$\tan 690^\circ = \tan 330^\circ = \frac{\sin}{\cos} = -\frac{1}{2} \div \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$$
- $$\cot 690^\circ = \frac{1}{\tan 690^\circ} = -\sqrt{3}$$
- $$\sec 690^\circ = \frac{1}{\cos 690^\circ} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}$$
- $$\csc 690^\circ = \frac{1}{\sin 690^\circ} = -2$$
