PRE- CALCULUS GENERAL FORMULA
Conic Sections
 A particular type of shape formed by the
intersection of a lane and a right circular
cone.
TYPES OF CONIC SECTIONS
CIRCLE
 Is formed when the plane is perpendicular to
the axis of the cone.
PARABOLA
 Is formed when the plane intersects to only
one cone to form unbounded curve.
ELLIPSE
 Is formed when the plane intersects to only
one cone to form bounded curve.
HYPERBOLA
 Is formed when the plane (not necessarily)
vertically intersects both to form two
unbounded curves. (EACH CALLED THE
BRANCH OF HYPERBOLA).
Ax2 + By2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0
NOTE:
If the variables A and B is the same, then the
conic section is a circle.
If the variables A and B is the same but the
sign between them is negative (-), then the
conic section is a hyperbola.
If the variables A and B is bit the same, then
the conic section is an ellipse.
If one of the variables C and D is missing,
then the conic section s a parabola.
Degenerated Conics
Refers to a line, a point and two intersecting
lines.
HOW ARE THESE SHAPES
FORMED?
The intersection is a SINGLE POINT
It is when a plane intersects with a cone at
the vertex where the cones touch.
A LINE OR TWO PARALLEL LINES
are produced.
It is when the plane intersects with the edge
of one cone, passing through the vertex
point, and continuing to touch the edge of
the other conic.
A TWO INTERSECTING LINES are
produced.
It is when a plane intersects with a cone so
that the plane passes vertically through the
vertex.
