standard Equation of a Conic phase:​


the overall 2d-degree equation for a conic segment is expressed as:​
𝐴𝑥2+𝐵𝑥𝑦+𝐶𝑦2+𝐷𝑥+𝐸𝑦+𝐹=0Ax2+Bxy+Cy2+Dx+Ey+F=0

A,B,C,D,E,F are constants.​
The values of those constants decide the precise kind of conic section.​
2. varieties ofConic Sections:​
Circle: A circle is a special case of an ellipse where the 2 foci [Link] overall equation
is:
𝑥2+𝑦2+2𝑔𝑥+2𝑓𝑦+𝑐=0x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0​
The center of the circle is at(−𝑔,−𝑓), and the radius may be derived from the equation.​

Ellipse: An ellipse is defined because the set of all factors for which the sum of the
distances from fixed points (foci) is consistent. Its trendy equation in standard for is:​
𝑥2/𝑎2+𝑦2/𝑏2=1​
wherein​
a and b are the lengths of the semi-most important and semi-minor axes, respectively.​

Parabola: A parabola is a curve where each point is equidistant from a set point (focus)
and a set straight line (directrix). The equation of a parabola is:​

𝑦2=4𝑎𝑥y2=4ax​
that is the usual shape for a parabola with a horizontal axis of symmetry.​

Hyperbola: A hyperbola includes branches, and it's miles described because the set of
factors for which the absolute distinction of the distances from fixed factors (foci) is
consistent. Its preferred equation is:​

𝑥2/𝑎2−𝑦2/𝑏2=1​


Directrix:​
each conic phase (ellipse, hyperbola, parabola) has a focus and a directrix, which are
important for their geometric houses:​

recognition: a hard and fast factor used to define the curve.​
Directrix: a hard and fast ine used at the side of the point of interest to outline the curve.

Eccentricity:​
Eccentricity (e) is a measure of the way a good deal a conic phase deviates from being
circular.​

For a circle,​
𝑒=zero​
e=0.​
For an ellipse,​
0<𝑒<1
For a hyperbola​
e>1.​

Locus Definition:​
Conic sections may be defined as loci (units of points) pleasing certaain geometric
situations:​

Circle: The locus of points equidistant from a set point (center).​
Ellipse: The locus of factors wherein the sum of the distances to 2 fixed factors (foci) is
regular.​
Parabola: The locus of points equidistant from a fixed factor (recognition) and a hard and
fast line (directrix).​
Hyperbola: The locus of factors wherein absolutely the difference of the distances to
constant points (foci) is constant.

tables
The type of conic section is determined as:
​ Circle: If A=CA = CA=C and B=0B = 0B=0.
​ Ellipse: If B2−4AC<0B^2 - 4AC < 0B2−4AC<0 and A≠CA \neq CA=C.
​ Hyperbola: If B2−4AC>0B^2 - 4AC > 0B2−4AC>0.
​ Parabola: If B2−4AC=0B^2 - 4AC = 0B2−4AC=0.

3. Standard Forms of Conic Sections


​ Circle: (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2(x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2
​ Center at (h,k) and radius r.
​ Ellipse: (x−h)2a2+(y−k)2b2=1
​ Center at (h,k)(h, k)(h,k), with semi-major axis aaa and semi-minor axis bbb.
​ Parabola (horizontal axis): y=a(x−h)2+k

​ Hyperbola: (x−h)2a2−(y−k)2b2=1
​ Center at (h,k) , transverse axis 2a, conjugate axis 2b.

5. Eccentricity of Conic Sections


The eccentricity (denoted by e) describes the "elongation" of a conic section:

8. Properties of Directrices and Foci


Each conic section’s focus and directrix play a central role in its definition:
​ Circle: Focus is the center, and there's no directrix.
​ Ellipse: The sum of distances to both foci is constant.
​ Parabola: Every point on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the
directrix.
​ Hyperbola: The difference of distances to both foci is constant.
