 CONIC
SECTIONS
AT THE END OF THE CLASS/SESSION YOU
MUST BE ABLE TO:
ILLUSTRATE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
CONIC SECTIONS: PARABOLA, ELLIPSE,
CIRCLE, HYPERBOLA, AND DEGENERATE
CASES.
GIVE REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES OF OBJECTS
AND CONCEPTS WHERE THESE CONIC
SECTIONS ARE APPLIED.

CONIC SECTIONS
Conic sections, or conics, are
curves obtained by the intersection
of a plane and a cone. Conics can
be found in nature and have many
applications in other fields. Conic
sections can be identified as
circles, parabolas, ellipses,
hyperbolas, and degenerate cases.
SECTIONS
CIRC
LE
A circle is formed a conic section which is
formed when the plane is horizontal as it
intersects the cone.
 There are many real-life representations of a
circle. A regular round pizza, Ferris wheel,
and the face of a coin are among the
numerous examples of a circle.
ELLIPS
E
 An ellipse is formed when the (tilted) plane
intersects only one cone to form a bounded
curve. In Figure 1, the top half part of
the figure shows the usual ellipse that you
will see in this subject while the bottom part
is a circle which is considered a special
ellipse.
A
A parabola is formed when the plane
intersects only one cone to form an
unbounded curve.
 The trajectory of a ball thrown
upward forms a parabola. Parabola has
many applications in real life including in
the field of architecture and
manufacturing.
A
 Hyperbola, also a conic section, is formed
when the plane (not necessarily vertical)
intersects both cones to form two unbounded
curves (each called a branch of the
hyperbola).
An hour glass that contains two hyperbolas,
one in each side, is a real-life
representation of a hyperbola.
CONICS
 A point, one line, and two lines are also formed when a
plane and cone intersect. They are referred to as
degenerate conics.
