Unit 12 Conic Sections
A circle is formed when i.e. when the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cones. Conic Sections (1) Circle
An ellipse is formed when i.e. when the plane cuts only one of the cones, but is neither perpendicular to the axis nor parallel to the a generator. Conic Sections (2) Ellipse
A parabola is formed when i.e. when the plane is parallel to a generator. Conic Sections (3) Parabola
A hyperbola is formed when i.e. when the plane cuts both the cones, but does not pass through the common vertex. Conic Sections (4) Hyperbola

12.1 Equations of a Parabola A parabola is the locus of a variable point P which moves in a plane so that its distance from a fixed point F in the plane equals its distance from a fixed line l in the plane. The fixed point F is called the focus and the fixed line l is called the directrix.
12.1 Equations of a Parabola The equation of a parabola with focus F(a,0) and directrix x + a =0, where a >0, is y2 = 4ax.

12.2 Chords and Tangents of a Parabola A straight line, not parallel to the axis of a parabola, is a tangent to the parabola if and only if it cuts the parabola at exactly one point.
12.2 Chords and Tangents of a Parabola Remarks : In general, a tangent to a curve may not cut the curve at exactly one point. In parabola, the situation is quite different. A tangent to the parabola does not meet the curve in addition to the point of contact. This fact enables us to find the equation of the tangent algebraically. P Q
12.2 Chords and Tangents of a Parabola Let P be a point not on the parabola such that two tangents, touching the curve at two points respectively, can be drawn from P to the parabola. The chord joining the points of contact is called the chord of contact of tangents drawn to the parabola from the point P.
12.2 Chords and Tangents of a Parabola The equation of the chord of contact of tangents drawn to the parabola y2 = 4ax from the point P(x1, y1) is y1y = 2a(x + x1).
12.4 Equations of an Ellipse An ellipse is a curve which is the locus of a variable point which moves in a plane so that the sum of its distance from two fixed points remains a constant. The two fixed points are called foci. P’(x,y) P’’(x,y)
