WEEK 2: PARABOLA
PARABOLA is the locus of points (x, y) in a plane that are
equidistant from a fixed point called the focus and a fixed line
called the directrix (not on the line).
PARTS OF THE PARABOLA
● FOCUS a point which is used to determine or define
the parabola. (represented by F).
● DIRECTRIX a line perpendicular to axis of symmetry.
(represented by D)
● VERTEX (V) midpoint of the perpendicular segment
from the focus to the directrix.
● AXIS OF SYMMETRY the line that passes through the
vertex and the focus.
● LATUS RECTUM a line passing through the focus,
perpendicular to the axis of symmetry, and it has two
endpoints whose length is 4c.
WEEK 3: ELLIPSE STANDARD EQUATION OF AN ELLIPSE CENTERED AT (h,k)
ELLIPSE set of all points in a plane such that the sum of the
distances of each point from 2 fic points is constant.
PARTS OF AN ELLIPSE AND HYPERBOLA
● FOCI Fixed points.
● CENTER the intersection of the major axis and the
minor axis.
● MAJOR AXIS (transverse axis) the line joining the
vertices and the foci and has a length of 2a.
● MINOR AXIS (conjugate axis) the line segment
which is perpendicular bisector of major axis and has
length of 2b.
● AXIS OF SYMMETRY the line that passes through both
foci and meets at two points called vertices.
● DIRECTRIX a line such that the ratio of distance of
the points on the conic section from the focus to its
distance from the directrix is constant.
● LATUS RECTUM a chord passes through the focus
and is perpendicular to the major axis and has both
endpoints on the curve.
WEEK 4: HYPERBOLA
● LENGTH OF LATUS RECTUM twice the square of the HYPERBOLA sets all points in a plane such that the differences
minor axis divided by the length of the major axis of the distances of each point from 2 fic points is constant.

intersect.
● VERTICES The points of the hyperbola with the
transverse axis.
● TRANSVERSE AXIS Line segment joining the vertices
and has length of 2a
● CONJUGATE AXIS Line segment which is
perpendicular bisector of the transverse axis and has
length of 2b
● FOCAL LENGTH The line segment joining the foci and
has length of 2c
● ASYMPTOTES The line that passes through the
center of the hyperbola is asymptotic.
● LENGTH OF LATUS RECTUM twice the square of the
minor axis divided by the length of the major axis

THE ORIGIN CHARACTERISTICS OF BASIC CONIC SECTIONS
CIRCLE when x and y are both squared.
6x2 - 18x + 6y2 = 12
ELLIPSE when either x or y is squared but not both.
y = x2 + 5 and x = 2y2 - 8y + 13
PARABOLA when x and y are both squared, and the
coefficients are positive but different.
2x2 - 6x + 5y2 + 15 y = 0
HYPERBOLA when x and y are both squared, and exactly one
of the coefficients is negative and exactly one of the
coefficients is positive.
-3x2 + 6y + 3x2 = 12
an = a1 + (n - 1 ) d
