What is the distance between the focus of a circle and the outside?

We're not sure what the 'focus' of a circle is, but since there's only one significant pointinside a circle, we'll assume the question is referring to the 'center', and we'll assumethe 'outside' means the circular line (which is actually the circle).(Isn't it great that before we can do an answer around here, we have to re-write thequestion so that it makes sense ! ?)The distance between the center of a circle and the circular line is the circle's "radius".

Does a conic section have vertices?

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.


Define the focus and the eccentricity of an ellipse?

A circle is perfectly round, and has one center. An ellipse is like a circle with TWO "centers", and each "center" is called a "focus". The plural of "focus" is "foci". Take a piece of string and tie a loop in each end. Put a pin through the loops, and hold it still in the center of the circle. Place the tip of your pencil at the center of the string, and you can draw a circle by keeping the string taut. Now take TWO pins, and put one pin at each end of the string; place the pins at some short distance apart, and hold them there. Place your pencil and draw, and the shape you draw will be an ellipse. The two pinpoints are the focuses, or foci, of the ellipse. Eccentricity is a measure of how far the ellipse varies from a circle. An ellipse with an eccentricity of zero _IS_ a circle, while an eccentricity of 1.0 is a straight line, with that string stretched out straight. In astronomy, every natural orbit is an ellipse.
