Presentation Transcript

  1. Conic Section A conic section is a curve obtained as the intersection of a cone (more precisely, a right circular conical surface) with a plane. http://math2.org/math/algebra/conics.htm

  2. Parabola http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/parabola/ A parabola is a symmetrical open plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side. The equation can be x^2=4py, x^2= -4py, y^2=4py or y^2= -4py.

  3. Ellipse A regular oval shape, traced by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) is constant. http://www.teacherschoice.com.au/ellipse_tool.htm .

  4. Circle A round plane figure whose boundary (the circumference) consists of points equidistant from a fixed point (the center). The equation is shown as (x - h) + (y - k) = r^2 http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/geometry/GCG6/LCir.htm http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/circle/interactive-circle-equation.php

  5. 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. http://www.mrperezonlinemathtutor.com/CARFILES/algebra/Applet_Hyperbola_Parameters_Horizontal.html OR
