Analytic geometry studies geometry using coordinate systems. The main conic sections are circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. Circles result when a plane intersects a double cone horizontally. Ellipses occur with a tilted intersecting plane. Parabolas are formed by a single cone intersection. Hyperbolas involve intersecting both cones to form two unbounded curves. Key properties of each conic section are defined, such as foci, directrix, latus rectum, and relationships between lengths.

Analytic Geometry – also known as Coordinate Geometry or Cartesian Geometry.

– the study of geometry using a coordinate system


Conics – curves that are created by the intersection of a plane and a double right
circular cone.
Parabola - when the plane intersects only one cone to form an unbounded curve.
Circle - when the plane is horizontal.
Ellipse - when the (tilted) plane intersects only one cone to form a bounded curve
Hyperbola - when the plane (not necessarily vertical) intersects both cones to form
two unbounded curves (each called a branch of the hyperbola).
Degenerate Conics – conics that fail to be an irreducible curve. (intersects vertex)

Circle:
Radius - the distance from the center to any point on the circle.
Chord - a line segment whose endpoints are on a circle.
Secant - a line that intersects a circle in two points.
Tangent - a line that touches a circle at a single point. Diameter - a chord that
passes through the center of the circle.
Circumference - the (linear) distance around the circle.
Arc - a portion of the circumference of a circle.
Sector - enclosed by two radii of a circle and their intercepted arc.
Segment - region bounded by a chord and the arc subtended by the chord.
Parabola:
-is the locus of all points in a plane that are the same distance from a line in the
plane
Latus Rectum- line segment through the focus and parallel to the directrix.

4c=Length of the Latus Rectum c= vertex to focus & vertex to directrix 2c= focus to
one point of latus rectum
Ellipse:
-locus of all points in a plane such that the sum of the distances from two given
points in the plane, the foci, is constant.

Horizontal Vertical
Hyperbolas:
-set of all points in a plane such that the difference of its distances from two fixed
points, called foci, is a constant.
a= distance from center to vertex b= distance from center to endpoint of conjugate
c= distance from center to focus
