631 Analytic Geometry in Twoand Three Sections andRotation of Equations SystemCHAPTER8 The oval-shaped lawn behind the White House inWashington, is called the Ellipse. It has views of theWashington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, theDepartment of Commerce, and the Old Post Office Ellipse is 616 ft long, 528 ft wide, and is in the shape ofa conic section. Its shape can be modeled using the methodsof this chapter. See page 1/13/06 6:49 AM Page 631 Chapter 8 OverviewAnalytic Geometry combines number and form. It is the marriage of algebra and geom-etry that grew from the works of Frenchmen Ren Descartes (1596 1650) and Pierrede Fermat (1601 1665). Their achievements allowed Geometry problems to be solvedalgebraically and algebra problems to be solved geometrically two major themes ofthis book. Analytic Geometry opened the door for Newton and Leibniz to develop Sections , we will learn that parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas are all conicsections and can all be expressed as second-degree equations.
