Conic sections – the curves of intersection that the plane makes with the doubl e right circular cone.

• Circle
“ plane perpendicular to • Elipse • Parabola • Hyperbola
cone axis” “plane oblique to “ plane parallel to side “plane cuts both
cone axis” of cone” halves of a cone”
To represent a conic section is by a general quadratic equation in x and y of the form:

𝑨𝒙𝟐 + 𝑩𝒙 + 𝑪𝒚𝟐 + 𝑫𝒚 + 𝑬 = 𝟎

Where A, B, C, D, E, and F are constants and A,B,C, are not all zero.

Cases Types of Conic Section

A=C Circle, Point, or an empty set

A & C have the same sign and A≠ 𝐶 Ellipse or an empty set

A=0 or C=0 Parabola

A & C have opposite signs Hyperbola

A. Classify the following equations according to the type of conic section

each represents.
