r

Let F be a fixed point and l a fixed line in a plane. The set of all points P in the plane, such that the ratio d(P,F)/d(P,Q) is a positive constant e with d(P,Q) the distance from P to l, is a conic section. The conic is a parabola if e = 1, an ellipse if 0<e<1, and a hyperbola if e>1

r

A Polar equation that has one of the four forms:r = de/(1+/-ecos 0)r = de/(1+/-esin 0)is a conic section. The conic is a parabola if e = 1, an ellipse if 0<e<1, or a hyperbola if e>1

Ch. 19.2 First-Order Linear Differential Equations

19.1

r

A first-order linear differential equation is an equation of the form:y' + P(x)y = Q(x)where P and Q are continuous functions.

19.2

r

The first-order linear differential equation y' + P(x)y = Q(x) may be transformed into a separable differential equation by multiplying both sides by the integrating factor e^integral P(x)dx.
