Transcript of Conics Practice Questions
Conics Question 1: (Core Concept Example) For each of the double-napped cones below, is the generator angle, and “x” is the angle formed by the cutting plane
and the cone. Label each diagram according to what conic section is formed, and indicate the value or range of values
for “x”.
Conics Question 2: (Core Concept Example) The vertex angle of a double-napped cone is 80°. The angle between the cutting plane and the central axis is x. Determine the value, or range of values, of x which would generate a) a circle b) a parabola
c) an ellipse
d) a hyperbola
State the degenerate case for all of the primary conic sections...
a) a circle b) a parabola
c) an ellipse d) a hyperbola
Need-To-Know-Concept:
A conic section is formed when a plane intersects a double-napped cone.
We analyze the relationship between the generator angle and the
cutting plane angle.
