What Is The Meaning Of Conics?
What is the meaning of conics?
Answer:
Conics is a branch of Mathematics that it is concerned with Conic Sections. It is a set of all points P in a plane such that the distance of P from a fixed point is in a constant ratio to the distance of P from a fixed line which does not contain the fixed point. Conics can find on cones.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 conic sections:
a. Circle - x² + y² = 1 (at the origin); (x-h)² + (y-k)² = 1 (not at the origin)
b. Ellipse - x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 (horizontal axis); x²/b² + y²/a² = 1 (vertical axis)
c. Parabola -
- y² = 4px); where the vertex is at the origin, focus at (0,p), directrix at y=-p
- (x-h)² = 4p (y-k); where the vertex at (h,k), the focus at (h, k+p), and the directrix at y=k-p
d. Hyperbola -
x²/a² - y²/b² = 1
where
- the length of the transverse axis is 2 a
- the coordinates of the vertices are ( ± a , 0 )
- the length of the conjugate axis is 2 b
- the coordinates of the co-vertices are ( 0 , ± b )
- the distance between the foci is 2 c , where c ²= a ²+ b ²
- the coordinates of the foci are ( ± c , 0 )
- the equations of the asymptotes are y = ± b/ a x
x²/b² - y²/a² = 1
where
- the length of the transverse axis is 2 a
- the coordinates of the vertices are ( 0,±a )
- the length of the conjugate axis is 2 b
- the coordinates of the co-vertices are (±b, 0 )
- the distance between the foci is 2 c , where c ²= a ²+ b ²
- the coordinates of the foci are ( 0,±c )
- the equations of the asymptotes are y = ± a/b x
