What is it? geometric curve formed by cutting cone: a curve produced by the intersection of a plane with a circular cone, e.g. a circle, ellipse, hyperbola, or parabola Explore more:
3
Parabola A plane curve formed by the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane parallel to an element of the cone or by the locus of points equidistant from a fixed line and a fixed point not on the line. Learn more:
4
Forms of Parabolas 4 Types of Parabolas: X2=4py X2=-4py y2=4px Y2=-4px
5
Real World Parabolas
6
Elipse A plane curve, especially: A conic section whose plane is not parallel to the axis, base, or generatrix of the intersected cone Learn more:
7
Form of ellipse (x2/a2)+(y2/b2)=1 (x2/b2)+(x2/a2)=1
8
Real World Ellipse
9
Circle The circle is the simplest and best known conic section. As a conic section, the circle is the intersection of a plane perpendicular to the cone's axis. Learn more:
10
Circle formula
11
Real world conic circles
12
Hyperbola A symmetrical open curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane at a smaller angle with its axis than the side of the cone. Learn more:
13
Hyperbola formula (y2/a2)-(x2/b2)=1 (x2/a2)-(y2/b2)=1
14
Real world hyperbolas
