Practice Other Topics from Conic Sections

In this topic, we will discuss the sections of a cone including circle, ellipse, parabola and hyperbola along with their situations. It also covers a brief on degenerated conic sections.

The topic introduces the concept of a circle. It mentions the general equation of a circle in terms of its radius and centre. We will also learn to determine the equation of a circle here.

The topic introduces the concept of a parabola. It highlights the main components of a parabola through a figure. It also explains the standard equations of the parabola and the latus rectum along with solved examples.

The topic introduces the concept of an ellipse. It explains the relationship between the semi-major axis, semi-minor axis and the distance of the focus from the centre. Further, it discusses eccentricity and standard equations of an ellipse.

The topic introduces the concept of a hyperbola. It explains the latus rectum, eccentricity and standard equations of a hyperbola. It consists of solved examples for a better understanding.
