  1. Conic Sections Topic 7.6

  2. Definitions • Conic Section: Any figure that can be formed by slicing a double cone with a plane Parabola Circle Ellipse Hyperbola Click here to see an animated version

  3. Equation of a Conic Section

  4. Which Conic is it Anyway? • Parabola: A = 0 OR C = 0 • Circle: A = C • Ellipse: , but both have the same sign • Hyperbola: A and C have Different signs

  5. Example: State the type of conic and write it in the standard form of that conic • Conic: A and C same sign, but A ≠ C • ELLIPSE • Standard Form:

  6. Example: State the type of conic and write it in the standard form of that conic • Conic: A = 0 • PARABOLA • Standard Form:

  7. Example: State the type of conic and write it in the standard form of that conic • Conic: A =C • CIRCLE • Standard Form: **Divide all by 2!**
