Introduction
In this project we will expose to you the different real life applications of
the items we learned in the third partial. In the project you will see the
circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas. All with its detailed
explanation in base of graphing and detailed information of what was
learned throughout the semester. The students will demonstrate their
knowledge by taking 4 photos and downloading 4 photos of the
internet. The photos of the internet will have a brief introduction of why
chosen and then have all the mathematical information.

This is a toel hanger that is found in my

Circle in environment
bathroom. It has as shown a radius of 3
and the (h,k) is (0,0). The x point and y
point both equal to 3 making the
standard formula of
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=9. domain is from [3,3] and range is also from [-3,3]. the
diameter is equal to 6.

Circle in World

This is the london eye located in London,

England. It is a tourist atraction wich is a
rotaiting wheel with 32 capsules that
help you see the whole city from above.
The center is aswell (0,0) The x point
and y point both equal to 3 making the
standard formula of (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=9.
domain is from [-3,3] and range is also
from [-3,3]. the diameter is equal to 6.
The radius equals 3.

Parabolas
LR

This is the Gateway Arch in

St.Louis. Is clearly shows a
downward parabola that
stops when touching the
floor.

In both images
we pointed out
the two most
important
things of a
parabola. The
vertex that in
both cases is
(0,0) and the
focus. We also
have P that is
the distance
between vertex
and focus, and
latus rectum
that is P
multiplied by
four.

LR

This is the frame of

the front door of my
house. It shows a
wide downward
parabola that ends
when it reaches the
door.

This is the sink found in my

bathroom as you can see the
Vertices are located in

Ellipses in environment

(+- 4.5) of the X axis and the

Covertices marked CV are located in
(+-4) of the Y axis, the center is (0,0)
The a point which is the red line
equals to 4.5, b= 4 and C equals to
2.011.
The standard formula would be
(x^2/20.25)+ (y^2/16)=1
The LR should be 1.77 and the
eccentricity would be of 0.446. It is a
horizontal ellipse.

Elipses in world

This is a football of the NFL it is not a

monment, but a symbol of sport well
being and fun in the USA, it is the
number one sport in this country, coming
back from the 1900 being an adaptation
to rugby.
The ball has its vertices located at (+- 4)
in the x axis. And Covertices at (+-2.5) of
the Y axis.
A=4, B= 2.5 and C= 3
The general formula is (x^2/16)+
(y^2/6.25)=1.
It is a Horizontal ellipse with the LR of
4.805. and the eccentricity of 0.75.

Hyperbolas

This is the Kobe Port Tower

in Japan. It is a tower with
two bends in each side
making it look like a
hyperbola.
In both cases we show point
a that is the distance
between the center and
both vertex. We have the c
that is the distance between
the center and the focus.
Finally we have the b that
determines the width of the
asymptotes.

In this picture we
have a baseball that I
have as part of a
collection at home. In
it the knittings create
a strange but clear
hyperbola.

Conclusion
In this project we used the skills learned in class to point out and label
the different figures we can find around us. This will help not only to
refine our learning but also to help us know math is everywhere. We
noticed that in many famous buildings around the world, specially
modern, they use figures like parabolas, circles, ellipses, and
hyperbolas. Building this great constructions would be impossible if
math didnt exist. The architects and designers need to measure
carefully so that the construction is stable. So now when you think that
learning about ellipses will not make you have a better future, rethink
because you never know, you may be building the next major modern
architectural phenomena.
