Parabola :
A set of point that constant at all point ∈the plane equidistance ¿ a given¿ point .
The ¿ point is called focus . The ¿ line is called directix .
Ellipse :
Anellipse is the set of point∈ a plane whose distance ¿ two ¿ points∈the plane
have a constant ∑ . The two ¿ points are the foci of the ellipse .
'
The line through the foci of an ellipseis the ellips e s focal axis. The point on the axis
halfway between the foci is the center . The point wherethe focal axis∧ellipse cross the
'
ellips e s vertices .
The line segment of length of 2 a joining the point ( ± a , 0 ) is called themajor axis . The line
segment of length of 2b joining the point ( 0 , ± b ) is called the m inor axis . The number a is
called semi−major axis∧the number b iscalled semi−minor axis .
