Pre Calculus

1. The document defines conic sections as shapes formed by intersecting a double-napped cone with a plane. The four main conic sections are circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas. 2. Parabolas are defined by all points that are the same distance from a focus point and directrix. Ellipses are defined as all points where the sum of the distances from two foci is a constant. 3. Hyperbolas are defined as all points where the difference between the distances from two foci is a constant. They consist of two branches with two vertices and two asymptotes.

Conic Section (conics) – are formed by
intersecting a double-napped cone with a Directrix – The set of all points in a plane that

 When an infinite cone is intersected by Focus – fixed point of the plane


a plane, the resulting figure is called a Vertex – Lowest or highest point of a
conic section. parabola (h, k)

Eccentricity – is a measure of how elongated
or "stretched" a conic section is. It is a ratio that FORMULA
quantifies the shape of the conic.
