• Circle

• Ellipse

• Parabola

• Hyperbola

In the context of conic sections, why is the eccentricity ratio used to classify the type of conic section formed by a cutting plane?

• It determines the orientation of the conic section with respect to the axis.

• It quantifies the distance between the foci, influencing the curvature of the section.

• It measures the deviation of the cutting plane from the perpendicular to the base of the cone.

• . It indicates the degree of symmetry exhibited by the resulting conic shape.

A cutting plane intersects a double cone in such a way that the resulting conic section is a closed curve with all points equidistant from its center. Which conic section is formed by this cutting plane?

• Circle

• Ellipse

• Parabola

• Hyperbola

A plane intersects a double-napped cone in space. The resulting conic section is characterized by an ellipse that is tilted and has its major axis obliquely intersecting the cone. What type of cutting plane was used?

• Parallel Plane

• Perpendicular Plane

• Slanting Plane

• Tangential Plane

In the context of conic sections, why does the discriminant formula play a crucial role in classification?

• It determines the orientation of the conic section relative to its axes.

• It provides information about the center and radius of the conic section.

• It helps determine whether the conic section is open or closed.

• It allows for classification based on the nature of the quadratic equation coefficients.

What is the reason for the eccentricity ratio value of a parabola being 1?

• The focus and the directrix of a parabola are equidistant from any point on the parabolic curve.

• The vertex of a parabola is always located at the origin (0, 0).

• The vertex of a parabola is always located at the origin (0, 0).

• The equation of a parabola is y^2 = 4ax, where 'a' represents the distance between the vertex and focus.

Which of the following best defines conic sections?

• The study of geometric shapes in three dimensions.

• Curved paths are created by intersecting a plane with a double-napped cone.

• Mathematical transformations applied to linear equations.

• The investigation of polygons and polyhedral.
