    The document summarizes the key characteristics of parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas: 1) Parabolas have a single focus and directrix, with the length of the directrix being 4 times the focal length. Their equation is y2 = 4ax or x2 = 4ay. 2) Ellipses have two foci of equal distance from the center, with the sum of the distances to the foci being constant and equal to 2 times the semi-major axis. Their equation is x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1. 3) Hyperbolas have two foci and their equation describes the difference between the distances to the foci
