Vertex
The vertex is the point in a parabola or hyperbola where the graph changes direction. It is the top or bottom of the graph.
Conic Sections
Conic sections are the result of a cone being interseced by planes at various angles. They are a circle, ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola.
Focus
Hyperbola and ellipses have two foci, while a parabola has one. It is the point that determines how wide a parabola or hyperbola open, and it determines the eccentricty of an ellipse.
Asymtotes
Asyptotes are a part of the graph of a hyperbola. There are two for each hyperbola. Each branch of the hyperbola will approach but not cross the asymptotes.
Circle
A circle is a conic section. It is created by a plane intersecting perpendicular to the cone. It has a center and its boundary is equidistant from the center all the way around.
Ellipse
An ellipse is a conic section. it has two foci that determine the eccentricity, or how wide the ellipse is. It is created by intersecting the cone at an acute angle.
Parabola
A parabola is a conic section. it is created by a plane intersecting the cone at a 45 degree angle. It has one branch that can open up or down.
Hyperbola
Hyperbola is one of the conic sections. It consists of two branches, with two asymptotes, two vertices, and a center.
Parabola
A parabola is a conic section. it is created by a plane intersecting the cone at a 45 degree angle. It has one branch that can open up or down.
