    Introduction To Conic Section

    Uploaded by

    EJ ARREZA
    Conic sections are curves formed by the intersection of a plane and a cone. There are four types of conic sections: circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. Each conic section has distinct properties defined by the relationship between distances from fixed points and lines. Circles are formed when the plane intersects the cone perpendicular to its axis, while other conic sections depend on the angle and position of the intersecting plane.

    INTRODUCTION TO
    CONIC SECTIONS
    PLANE
    CONE

    Two millennia ago,


    Apollonius of Perga, the
    great Greek geometer,
    studied the curves formed
    by the intersection of a
    plane and a double right
    circular cone, and
    discovered many properties
    of the curve. These curves
    were later known as conic
    sections
    CONIC SECTION

    In mathematics, a conic section (or just conic)


    is a curve obtained by intersecting a cone (more
    precisely, a right circular conical surface) with a
    plane.
    A conic is a set of points whose distances from
    a fixed point are in constant ratio to their distances
    from a fixed line that is not passing through the
    fixed point .
    CIRCLE ELLIPSE PARABOLA HYPERBOLA
    CIRCLE CIRCLE formed
    when the plane is
    horizontally
    intersect a cone

    A circle can be defined as the shape


    created when a plane intersects a cone at
    right angles to the cone's axis.
    PARABOLA
    A parabola is the set of all points equidistant from a line
    and a fixed point not on the line. The line is called the
    directrix, and the point is called the focus.

    When the plane intersect


    only one cone
    HYPERBOLA
    Hyperbola is all points found by keeping
    the difference of the distances from two points
    (each of which is called a focus of the
    hyperbola) constant. The midpoint of the
    segment (the transverse axis) connecting the
    foci is the center of the hyperbola.
    ELLIPSE
    An ellipse is the set of points
    such that the sum of the distances
    from any point on the ellipse to
    two other fixed points is constant.
    The two fixed points are called the
    foci (plural of focus) of the ellipse. Tilted
    plane
    ELEMENTS OF CONIC
    SECTIONS
    A. focus(F)-the fixed point of the conic
    B. Directrix(d)-the fixed line d
    corresponding to the focus
    C. Principal axis (a)-the line that passes
    through the focus and perpendicular to the
    directrix .
    D. Vertex(V)-the point of intersection of the
    conic and its principal axis
    E. Eccentricity(E) -the constant ratio

     The conic is a parabola if the eccentricity e=1


     The conic is an ellipse if the eccentricity e<1
     The conic is a hyperbola if the eccentricity
    e>1
