, Conic – Section
• A conic section, conic or a quadratic curve is a
curve obtained from a cone's surface intersecting a
plane. The three types of conic section are the
hyperbola, the parabola, and the ellipse; the circle is a
special case of the ellipse, though it was sometimes
called as a fourth type. The
ancient Greek mathematicians studied conic sections,
culminating around 200 BC with Apollonius of Perga's
systematic work on their properties.
• General Equation of Conic is given as:
