Conic Sections

Introduction:

Algebra is the one of the most important chapter in mathematics subject. Here the Conic section is one of the topics in algebra chapter. In mathematics a conic section (or just conic) is a curve obtained by intersecting a cone (more precisely, a right circular conical surface) with a plane. In analytic geometry, a conic may be defined as a plane algebraic curve of degree 2. The conic sections were named and studied as long ago as 200 BC.

Conic Sections:

Conic section is generally defined as intersection of a plane and a cone, it will  depend on How the plane is oriented, the curve will be one conic sections. Or a conic section is a curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane.
 Four types of conic sections are there,

• Circle,
• Parabola,
• Ellipse, and
• Hyperbola.
