Axis of The The fixed line of the cone is called its axis, : |
Cone
Elements of The possible positions of the generating line in its rotation about
The Cone the axis are its elements.
Vv ertex The common intersection point of all the cone’s elements is the
cone’s vertex.
Nappes The two symmetrical parts of the generated surface on each side
of the vertex are the cone’s nappes
| Conic Sections | The curves that can be obtained by cutting
a cone with a plane
or Conics are called conic sections or simply conics.
Circle | When the intersecting plane cuts completely across one
nappe
2 at a right angle to the axis of the cone, the curve is a circle.
Point Circle If the intersecting plane cuts across the vertex of a cone, the
resulting curve is a point circle.
=
Parabola When the intersecting plane is parallel to an element, and
passing through only one nappe, the resulting curve is parabola.
2, When the intersecting plane cuts completely across one nappe
: at an oblique angle to the axis, the curve is an ellipse. 3
Hyperbola ~ | When the intersecting plane cuts through both nappes parallel to
the axis of the cone the resulting curve is hyperbola.
Circle
A set of points such that distance of each point from a fixed point
(centre)
remains constant.
The constant distance is called radius of the circle.

Theorems on parabola:
(i). The point on the parabola closest to the focus is the vertex.
(ii). The ordinate at any point P-of the parabola is a mean
proportional between the length of the latus rectum and the
abscissa of P.
Ellipse
A set of points such that the distance of each point from a fixed point (focus, F)
bears a constant ratio (Eccentricity, 0 < e <1) to its perpendicular distance from a
fixed straight line (directrix, L).
Terms Related To Standard Ellipse:
| Vertices The points on the standard ellipse where it crosses the x- -axis.
Co vertices | The points on the standard ellipse where it crosses the Guia.
Center The midpoint of the line joining vertices (or co vertices).
Major axis_| The line joining vertices is called major axis. =
Minor axis | The linej joining co vertices is called minor axis.
Latera recta | The chords perpendicular to major axis passes through foci are
ES called laters recta. =
Eccentricity | The ratio of the distance of any point on the ellipse from the focus
to its distance from the directrix.
