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.
Which conic section is a closed curve?
circle and ellipse are closed curved conic section!, from bilal , Pakistan
Who discovered the conic section?
Leibniz
Which conic section has a directrix?
Parabolas have directori.
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 is the name of a tapered cylinder with different diameters each end?
Bi-truncated conic section, or doubly-truncated conic section
Which conic section has a directrix?
Parabolas have directori.
Which shape never have parallel sides?
Any conic section.
What Which of the following conic sections describes a closed curve?
Ellipse and curve! apex
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.
