Parabolas Ellipses Circles Hyperbolas: Focus Center Focus Center (H, K) Foci Center

The document describes different types of curves: parabolas are formed by cutting a cone with a plane through the cone's axis; ellipses are formed cutting a cone with a slanted plane; circles are formed cutting a cone perpendicularly; and hyperbolas are formed cutting the top and bottom of a cone. It provides details on the vertex, focus, directrix, and axes of ellipses and hyperbolas.

Parabolas

Open curve Intersecting the plane through the cone and the top of the cone.

Ellipses
Closed curve It is formed by cutting a three dimensional cone with a slanted plane.

Circles
Closed curve Cutting a circular cone with a plane perpendicular to the symmetry axis of the cone.

Hyperbolas
Open curve When a plane slices the top and bottom section of the cone

The vertex is always halfway in between the focus and directrix. The line segment through the focus and perpendicular to the axis of symmetry is called latus of rectum, and the endpoint of it lies on the parabola. Focus: (h,k+1/4a) ,(h+1/4a,k) Directrix: y=k-1/4a x=k-1/4a

The distance from the center to either focus is the fixed value c. (h,k+/-c) (h+/-c,k) Ellipses have two axes of symmetry that are perpendicular at the center: major axis minor axis. Foci always lie on major axis. Endpoints of the major axis are the vertices, with distance a from center. (h,k+/-a) (h+/-a,k) Endpoints of the minor axis are the co-vertices.

All points from the center (h,k) are equidistant (radius).

The "foci" of a hyperbola are "inside" each axis, and each focus is located some fixed distance c from the center. Also, it has two axes of symmetry that are perpendicular at the center: transverse axis conjugate axis. Foci lies on the transverse. Vertices are the endpoints of the transverse, with distance a from the center. Co-vertices are the endpoints of the conjugate, with distance b from center.
