Function Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Hello everyone I'd like to know if following notations are correct, as first steps in order to get the canonical equations for a parabola, ellips and hyperbola: Parabola Given the focus [math]F\left(0,\frac{p}{2}\right)[/math] and directive [math]d\leftrightarrow y=\frac{-p}{2}[/math] of a parabola [math]\mathcal{P}[/math]. [math]\mathcal{P}:=\forall P(x,y):\left|PF\right|=d(P,d)[/math]. Ellips Given the focusses [math]F_1\left(c,0\right)[/math] and [math]F_2\left(-c,0\right)[/math] of an ellips [math]\mathcal{E}[/math] with main axis [math]2a[/math]. [math]\mathcal{E}:=\forall P(x,y):\left|PF_1\right|+\left|PF_2\right|=2a[/math] Hyperbola (same as ellips but with - instead of +) Are these notations correct? Edited December 7, 2013 by Function
studiot Posted December 7, 2013 Posted December 7, 2013 Does the first part of of your parabola statement make sense? " P1 is the set of all P (xy) contained in P1 " I have used P1 for your script P.
