PRE – CALCULUS CHAPTER 1: ANALYTIC GEOMETRY
HISTORY
Conic sections is one of the oldest
math subject studied.
The conics were discovered by
Greek mathematician Menaechmus
(c. 375-325 BC)
Menaechmus’s intelligence was
.
highly regarded. He tutored
Alexander the Great.
 HISTORY
Apollonius (c. 262-190 BC) wrote
about conics in his series of books
simply titled “Conic Sections”.
Apollonius’ nickname was “the Great
Geometer”
He was the first to base the theory of
all three conics on sections of one
circular
.
cone.
He is also the one to give the name
“ellipse”, “parabola”, and
“hyperbola”.
 INTRODUCTION TO CONIC SECTIONS
A conic section is a curve formed by the
intersection of a plane and a double
cone
Slicing the double-napped cone can also
result in the formation of a point, a straight
line, or a pair of straight lines. These
.
geometric figures are called the
degenerate conics.
When a double-napped cone is sliced into sections by a plane,
curves known as the conic sections or conics are formed
