No, a conic section does not have vertices. If it is a circle, it has a center; if it is a parabola or hyperbola, it has a focus; and if it is an ellipse, it has foci.

What is a conic section?

A conic section is a curve formed by the intersection of a plane with a cone (conical surface). If the section is parallel to the base of the cone, the conic section has a fixed diameter and is a circle. Any other plane that does not intersect the apex is either a parabola, a hyperbola, or an ellipse.

How conics generated?

A conic section is generated by the intersection of a plane with a double cone. The specific shape of the conic section (ellipse, parabola, hyperbola, or circle) depends on the angle of the plane in relation to the axis of the cone. The different conic sections result from different orientations of the cutting plane.


Is an ellipse in CAD a four-circle ellipe or a true conic section?

In CAD, an ellipse is typically represented as a true conic section rather than a four-circle ellipse. A true conic section is defined mathematically as the set of points where the sum of the distances to two focal points is constant. While some CAD systems may approximate an ellipse using arcs of circles for convenience, the most accurate representation adheres to the geometric definition of an ellipse as a conic section.
