zzIn case of an ellipse, where c= a 2 - b 2 , if c = 0, then the ellipse is a circle and if c = a, then the ellipse reduces

zzFoci of an ellipse always lie on the major axis. If the coefficient of x2 has the larger denominator, then major axis
is along x-axis. If the coefficient of y2 has the larger denominator, then major axis is along y-axis.
zzEllipse and Hyperbola are symmetrical with respect to both the axes.
zzIn hyperbola, foci always lie on the transverse axis. If the denominator of x2 gives the positive term, then
transverse axis is along x-axis and if the denominator of y2 gives the positive term, then transverse axis id along
y-axis.

zzIn a hyperbola, no portion of the curve lies between x = a and x = −a.
