Anyone got the notes of conic section???? |
|
Answer» Answer: Define b by the equations c2 = a2 − b2 for an ELLIPSE and c2 = a2 + b2 for a hyperbola. For a CIRCLE, c = 0 so a2 = b2. For the parabola, the standard FORM has the focus on the x-axis at the point (a, 0) and the directrix the line with equation x = −a.HOW TO IDENTIFY THE FOUR CONIC SECTIONS IN EQUATION FORM Circle. When x and y are both squared and the coefficients on them are the same — including the sign. ... Parabola. When either x or y is squared — not both. ... Ellipse. When x and y are both squared and the coefficients are positive but different. ... Hyperbola |
