The Conics



Conics, an abbreviation for conic sections, are

curves that result from the intersection of a

right circular cone and a plane.

Depending on the angle of the plane relative to

the cone, the intersection can be a parabola, anellipse, a circle, or a hyperbola.

Conics



The general form of a second degree equation in 2

variables x, y is given by

ax2 +bxy + cy2 + dx +ey + f = 0

where a, b, c, d, e, and f are constants and at least one

of a, b, and c is nonzero .

The shapes of the corresponding graphs of the

equation depend on the values of these constants.

General Form



Consider the second-degree equation of the form

ax2 +bxy + cy2 + dx +ey + f = 0

where a, b, c, d, e, and f are constants and at least oneof a, b, and c is nonzero .

The graph is

an ellipse if b2 ± 4ac < 0, b 0, a c

a circle if b2 ± 4ac < 0, b = 0, a = c

a parabola if b2 ± 4ac = 0

a hyperbola if b2 ± 4ac > 0

Parabola



Definition of a Parabola

A parabola is the set of all points in a plane

that are equidistant from a fixed line (the

directrix) and a fixed point (the focus) that is

not on the line.

Standard Forms of the Parabola

The standard form of the equation of a parabola withvertex at the origin is

y2 = 4 p x or x 2 = 4 p y.

the focus is on the x -axis,which is the axis of symmetry.

the focus is on the y-axis,

which is the axis of symmetry.

Ellipse



Definition of an Ellipse

An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane such that the

sum of the distances of any point on the ellipse to two

other fixed points is a positive constant. These two fixed

points are called the foci.




An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane such that the

sum of the distances of any point on the ellipse to two

other fixed points is a positive constant. These two fixed

points are called the foci.




The midpoint of the segment connecting the foci is

the center of the ellipse.

The intersection of the ellipse and the line joining

the foci are the vertices of the ellipse.




The segment between the 2 vertices is called the

major axis of the ellipse.

The segment perpendicular to the major axis and

intercepted by the ellipse is called the minor axisof the ellipse.

Example

4001625.)1 22! y x

The equation is the standard form of an ellipse¶s equationwith a2 = 25 and b2 = 16.

Because the denominator of the y2 term is greater than thedenominator of the x2 term, the major axis is vertical.
