Topics in Conic Sections

1

Introduction and Formation of Conic Sections

  • Conic sections are formed by intersecting a plane with a double-napped right circular cone
  • The vertex V separates the cone into two parts called nappes
  • The angle α is between the generator line m and the vertical axis l
2

Circle

  • Circle is formed when β = 90° (plane perpendicular to axis)
  • All points on circle are equidistant from the center
  • Standard form has center at origin, general form allows any center
3

Parabola

  • Parabola is formed when β = α (plane parallel to generator)
  • Set of points equidistant from focus and directrix
  • Has one focus and one directrix
4

Ellipse

  • Ellipse is formed when α < β < 90°
  • Sum of distances from any point to two foci is constant (2a)
  • Has two foci, major axis, minor axis, and center
