Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of Coordinate Geometry?
Coordinate geometry combines algebra and geometry to solve problems involving points, lines, and curves on a plane. In the JEE Main exam coordinate geometry is used for solving complex problems like:
- Finding distance between point and line
- Equation of Lines and Curves
- Intersection of Lines and Tangents
- Area and Locus Problems
Is Coordinate geometry used in real life?
Yes, Coordinate geometry is used in real life in various fields like engineering, architecture, navigation, and technology. The coordinate geometry is used in the following:
- Architecture and Construction
- GPS and Navigation System
- Computer Graphics and Navigation
- Robotics and Artificial Intelligence
- Astronomy and Space Application
Who is the father of coordinate geometry?
Rene Descartes is considered the father of Coordinate Geometry. He introduced the concept of geometric shapes using algebraic equations. He combined algebra and geometry making it simple to solve complex geometric problems using algebraic methods.
What are the basic things in coordinate geometry?
The fundamental concepts and basic things in coordinate geometry are as follows:
1. Cartesian Coordinate system: It consists of two perpendicular axes the x-axis and y-axis intersecting at the origin (0,0).. This system helps in plotting points and solving geometric problems.
2. Points and Coordinates: A point is represented as (x,y)(x, y)(x,y), where x indicates the horizontal position (abscissa) and y denotes the vertical position (ordinate).
3. Distance formula; This formula calculates the distance between two points.
What are the principles of coordinate geometry?
The principles of coordinate geometry involve the representation of geometric figures, using algebraic expression equations on coordinate planes. The main principles include the Cartesian plane where points are plotted (x,y)(x, y)(x,y). The distance formula for calculating distances, the section formula for dividing line segments, and slope concept to determine line direction.
