Parabola Class-1: Definition of Conic

The document defines conic sections as the locus of points where the ratio of the distance from a fixed focus point to the distance from a fixed directrix line is constant. It then gives the equations to find the conic section when the focus, directrix, and eccentricity are given. Parabolas are defined as the conic where the focus distance is equal to the directrix distance. The standard parabola is described with a focus of (a,0) and directrix of x=-a, and methods for tracing, finding latus rectum, and parametric coordinates of the standard parabola are provided.

PARABOLA CLASS-1

DEFINITION OF CONIC

The locus of a point such that the ratio of its distance


from the fixed point(called focus of the conic) to the
distance from fixed line(called directrix of the conic) is
always constant(called eccentricity), where fixed point
does not lie on the fixed line .

does not lie on the fixed line .

The equation of any conic can be compared with second


degree general equation.
C:

Q. Find equation of conic such that its focus is (2,3) ,


directrix is x-y=0 and eccentricity e=2 .

STANDARD TERMS WRT ANY CONIC

1. FOCUS & DIRECTRIX: The fixed point and the fixed


line from which the ratio of the distances are
observed.

2. ECCENTRICITY: The ratio of the distances from focus


and directrix and is denoted by e.

3. AXIS OF THE CONIC: The line passing through the


focus and perpendicular to the directrix.

4. FOOT OF DIRECTRIX: The point of intersection of the


axis and directrix.

PARABOLA 2 Page 8
5. VERTICES: The point(s) where the conic meet its axis .

6. CENTRE OF CONIC: The point which bisects every


chord passing through it.

7. FOCAL CHORD: Any chord which passes through the


focus of the conic is called focal chord.

8. LATUSRECTUM: The focal chord which is perpendicular


to the axis of the conic.

FIRST DEFINITION OF PARABOLA

The locus of a point such that its distance from the fixed
point(focus) is equal to its distance from the fixed
line(directrix).
