GENERAL EQUATION
an
ellipse is formed when the general
equation becomes
2 2
0
Ax + By + Cx + Dy + E =
d d
ELLIPSE
is
the set of all points on the plane
such that the sum of the distances
from two fixed points is constant
d d
PARTS
d d
CENTER
is the midpoint of the major axis
d d
MAJOR AXIS
is
the segment that passes through
the foci and its endpoints lie on
the ellipse
d d
MINOR AXIS
is
the segment perpendicular to
the major axis and its endpoints
are known as the co-vertices
d d
VERTICES
are the endpoints of the major axis
d d
CO-VERTICES
are the endpoints of the minor axis
d d
FOCAL DISTANCE
is
the distance from the center to
a focus, denoted as c , where
2 2 2
c= a − b
d d
FOCUS
is the fixed point of the ellipse
plural form is foci
there are two foci in an ellipse
