The apex of a conic section refers to the highest or lowest point of a curve, depending on its orientation. In the context of a parabola, the apex is synonymous with the vertex, which is the point where the curve changes direction. For hyperbolas and ellipses, the term is less commonly used, but it can refer to the points of intersection with the major axis or the extreme points of the curve. Overall, the apex signifies a critical point that defines the shape and properties of the conic section.

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.

What are the six conic sections?
A conic section is the intersection of a plane and a cone. By changing the angle and location of intersection, we can produce a circle, ellipse, parabola or hyperbola; or in the special case when the plane touches the vertex: a point, line or 2 intersecting lines.Traditionally, the three types of conic section are the hyperbola, the parabola, and the ellipse. The circle is a special case of the ellipse, and is of sufficient interest in its own right that it is sometimes called the fourth type of conic section.

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.
Can you create a conic section that consists of two circles of equal size?
Yes, if you use both sides of the mathematical cone (on each side of the apex).
Who discovered the conic section?
Leibniz

What Which of the following conic sections describes a closed curve?
Ellipse and curve! apex
Which shape never have parallel sides?
Any conic section.
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.
What conic sections describes a closed curve?
An ellipse is a conic section which is a closed curve. A circle is a special case of an ellipse.
