One definition of this curve is the locus of all points whose distances to a fixed point and to a vertical line are in the same ratio of r greater than one.
One definition of this curve is the locus of all points whose distances to a fixed point and to a vertical line are in the same ratio of r greater than one. A more common definition of this curve the locus of points the difference whose distances to two fixed points are the same positive constant. The eccentricity of this curve is greater than one. Resulting from the intersection of the double-sided right circular cone with a plane parallel to the axis of the cone, name this conic section.          |
