Introduction to Conic
Sections

Pre-Calculus Instructor: Ms. Brianne C. Jimenez


Conic Section (also called “conic”)
in geometry, is the curve produced by the
intersection of a plane and a doubled-napped
circular cone.
• Most of the bridges in the world were built using parabolic spans
because it was considered to be a sturdier structure and it is also
a visually appealing design.
• In light houses, parabolic bulbs are used to have a
good focus of light to be seen even from a
distance by sailors.
•There is an ellipse shaped park in front of
White House in Washington.
•Philippine’s example of circular road is
located in Quezon City:
• Kobe Port Tower in Japan has hourglass
shape, that means it is hyperbolic.
•If you throw an object into the air, the
path travelled by it will be parabolic.
•The satellite dish is a parabolic
structure facilitating wider focus and
range of radio waves.
• The mirror used for surveillance and safety
has parabolic construction enabling more
widespread view compared to a flat-
designed mirror.
HOW TO IDENTIFY A CONIC
SECTION GIVEN ITS
EQUATION?
General Equation for
Conics:
SOLUTION: Using its quadratic terms.

Conic Section Quadratic Terms


• Only one squared term is present.
PARABOLA
• Only x2 is present.
• Only y2 is present.
CIRCLE • x2 and y2 are both present.
• A=C
ELLIPSE • x2 and y2 are both present.
• A≠C
• A and C have the same signs (both positive or both
negative)
HYPERBOLA • x2 and y2 are both present.
• A≠C
• A and C have opposite signs (one is positive and one
is negative)
Classify the conic section in each item given the
equation using its quadratic terms:

1.)
• Since only 𝒙𝟐 is present, then the given equation is a
PARABOLA.

2.)
• Since only 𝒚𝟐 is present, then the given equation is a
PARABOLA.
3.)
• Since only 𝒙𝟐 is present, then the given equation is a
PARABOLA.

4.)
• Both 𝒙𝟐 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝟐 are present
• A = 1 and C = 1
• A = C (1 is equal to 1)
5.)

• Both 𝒙 and 𝒚 are present


𝟐 𝟐

• A = -9 and C = 1
• A ≠ C (-9 is not equal to 1)
• A and C have opposite signs
• Therefore the equation is a HYPERBOLA.
6.)

• Both 𝒙 and 𝒚 are present


𝟐 𝟐

• A = 1 and C = -1
• A ≠ C (1 is not equal to -1)
• A and C have opposite signs
• Therefore the equation is a HYPERBOLA.
7.)
• Since only 𝒚𝟐 is present, then the given equation is a
PARABOLA.

8.)
• Both 𝒙𝟐 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝟐 are present
• A = 25 and C = 1
• A ≠ C (25 is not equal to 1)
9.)
• Both 𝒙𝟐 and 𝒚𝟐 are present
• A = 4 and C = 4
• A = C (4 is equal to 4)
• Therefore the equation is a CIRCLE.

10.)
• Both 𝒙𝟐 and 𝒚𝟐 are present
• A = 4 and C = -4
11.)
• Both 𝒙𝟐 and 𝒚𝟐 are present
• A = 9 and C = -1
• A ≠ C (9 is not equal to -1)
• A and C have opposite signs
• Therefore the equation is a HYPERBOLA.

12.)
• Both 𝒙𝟐 and 𝒚𝟐 are present
• A = -9 and C = -1
