This learning packet introduces a particular class of curves which sometimes appear in nature, and which have applications in other fields, such as in the design of everyday items like flashlights, building designs, and the like. Hence, it is a must for you to understand the concept of conic sections for it would be beneficial to the succeeding topics. Also, this learning material will help you learn how the conic sections differ from each other and will help you see the circle from an analytic approach.
Objective
a. illustrate the different types of conic sections: parabola, ellipse, circle, hyperbola, and degenerate cases;
b. define a circle;
c. determine the standard form of the equation of a circle.
