If you study, complete your various Review Sheets, and seek help, you
should do well on your test.Just don’t plan to use that tired old excuse for
not doing your homework.

This space heater uses a parabolic reflector to focus heat. It feels much warmer than a similar heater (not parabolic) with less wattage.

Does this movie remind you of the definition of ellipse?
What is the significance of the two blue lines moving around the ellipse?
If you still do not remember the definition, think about the ExploreLearning. What was the meaning of 1 2L L ?

Go to exploremath.com to refresh the definition of hyperbola.
Scroll down and check the box for “show string property,” move the blue dot around, and watch L1 L2 .

To help you remember the definition, click on the parabola.
Scroll down and check the box for “explore geometric definition,” move the blue dot around, and watch the values of 1 2L and L .

A hyperbola is formed by slicing the cone perpendicular to the base (or really just not parallel to the slant height), cutting through both nappes to form the two branches.
What is a “degenerate hyperbola”?
Answer:
A “degenerate hyperbola” is a pair of intersecting lines.

An ellipse is sliced by a plane that is not parallel to the base, but does cut all the way through the cone.
Think: What is a “degenerate ellipse”?
Just like the circle, it is a point.
Answer:

A parabola is sliced parallel to one side, or, as you might have said in geometry, parallel to the slant height.
Think: What is a “degenerate parabola”?Hint: Keep the plane parallel to the slant height, but slide it left until tangent to the cone. What figure do you see at the plane of tangency?
Answer:
A “degenerate parabola” is a line.

To form a circle, the cone should be sliced parallel to the base.
Thinking question:As you look at the circles getting smaller, what is the “circle” at the bottom of the cone called?
A “degenerate circle” is a point.
