The curves which can be

derived from taking slices of

a "double-napped" cone. Its is a
graph of a second degree
equation in the coordinates x
and y.
 Types
Degenerate conics
are the point ellipse,
two coincident lines and
two intersecting lines
These are obtained when
Non degenerate conics
the cutting plane passes are parabola,
through the vertex ellipse, circle, and
hyperbola.

base of the cone, the section
formed is a circle.
b. if the cutting plane is parallel to a
plane tangent to the cone, then the
curve of its intersection is called a
parabola.
c. if the cutting plane is not parallel
to a plane tangent to the cone, then
the curve of its intersection is an
ellipse
d. if the cutting plane intersects to
both nappes, then the curve of its
intersection is a hyperbola.

 When we measure
the distance:

◎ from the focus to a point

on the curve, and

◎ perpendicularly from
the directrix to that point

The two distances will always

be the same ratio.
Eccentricity (denoted by
e) - a parameter
associated with every
conic section.
◎ If e = 1, the conic is a parabola

◎ If e < 1, the conic is an ellipse

◎ If e > 1, the conic is hyperbola

◎ If e = 0, the definition fails, the ellipse

approaches a circle which is the limiting shape.

 The general
equation of the
conics is given by
the formula:
