What 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.

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?

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.
