    Mathematics

    What is conic sections?

    Conic sections — circle, parabola, ellipse and hyperbola — are the curves formed when a plane cuts a double cone.

    Why it matters

    They dominate coordinate geometry in Class 11 and appear throughout entrance exams and physics (orbits, projectiles, optics).

    Key concepts you will practise

    • Standard equations of circle, parabola, ellipse and hyperbola
    • Focus, directrix, eccentricity and latus rectum
    • Tangents and normals
    • Identifying a conic from a general second-degree equation

    Tips that save marks

    • Memorise the standard forms — most questions are one substitution away from them.
    • Complete the square to convert a messy equation into standard form.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does eccentricity tell you?

    It measures how far the conic departs from a circle: 0 for a circle, less than 1 for an ellipse, 1 for a parabola, more than 1 for a hyperbola.

    What is the latus rectum?

    The chord through a focus that runs perpendicular to the major axis.
