3 DEFINING CONDITIONS…
FOCUS
ECCENTRICITY(e)
DIRECTRIX
FOCUS AND DIRECTRIX…
A Conic consists of those points whose distances to some
point,called FOCUS, and some lines,called a DIRECTRIX, are in a
fixed ratio, called the ECCENTRICITY.
ECCENTRICITY…
The eccentricity of an ellipse is
greater than zero but less than
1.
A parabola is a
approximately U- shaped
when oriented as sown I
the diagram,but which
can be in any
orientation in its plane.
APPLICATIONS…
Trajectory of a particle or
body in motion under the
influence of a uniform
gravitational field.
The Hyperbola of
Synchronization…
CONCLUSION…
Conic section formulas represent the standard forms of a circle,
parabola, ellipse, hyperbola. For ellipses and hyperbolas, the standard
form has the x-axis as the principal axis and the origin (0,0) as the
centre. The vertices are (±a, 0) and the foci (±c, 0)., and are defined
by the equations c2= a2 − b2 for an ellipse and c2 = a2 + b2 for a
hyperbola. For a circle, c = 0 so a2 = b2. For the parabola, the standard
form has the focus on the x-axis at the point (a, 0) and the directrix is
the line with equation x = −a.
Circle: x2+y2= a2
Parabola: y2= 4ax when a>0
Ellipse: x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1
Hyperbola: x2/a2 – y2/b2 = 1
