Conic Section : A group of curves formed by the intersection of a plane and a right circular cone.
Apollonius : It was __________ of Perga who gave the name of the curves ellipse, parabola and hyperbola.
Degenerate conic : The resulting conic when the plane intersect the vertex of the cone.
Line : The intersection of the plane with the cone in the case in which the plane is tangent to the cone.
Eccentricity : The measure of how much any conic section deviates from being circular.
Ellipse : A conic section whose plane is not parallel to the axis, base, or generatrix of the intersected cone.
Major axis : Line segment joining the vertices.
Parabola : A ________ is the set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a focus and directrix.
Directrix : Fixed line of a parabola.
Vertex : The point that lies halfway on the parabola between the focus and the directrix.
Hyperbola : A _________ is the set of all points in a plane the difference of whose distances from two fixed points (the foci) is a constant.
Asymptote : A line that a curve approaches, as it heads towards infinity.
Infinity : Eccentricity of a line.
Latus rectum : A chord that passes through the focus of a conic and is perpendicular to the principal axis.
