Polar equations for conic sectionsGraph the following conic sections, labeling vertices, foci, directrices, and asymptotes (if they exist). Give the eccentricity of the curve. Use a graphing utility to check your work.
Curve that is obtained by the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane. The three types of conic sections are parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas. The main features of conic sections are focus, eccentricity, and directrix. The other parameters are principal axis, linear eccentricity, latus rectum, focal parameter, and major and minor axis.
