Sections of a Cone

There are three sections of a cone or conic sections: Parabola, Hyperbola, and Ellipse (Circle is a special kind of Ellipse).

Circle

Circle is the simplest conic section. As a conic section, circle is intersection of a plane perpendicular to the cone's axis.

Please Note:

Value of eccentricity(e) for a circle is e = 0.

Circle has no directrix.

General form of the equation of a circle with center at (h, k), and radius r: (x−h)² + (y−k)² = r²

Parabola

When intersecting plane is at an angle to the surface of the cone, thwe obtained conic section is called the parabola. It is a U-shaped conic section.

The value of eccentricity(e) for parabola is e = 1

Ellipse

Ellipse is a conic section that is formed when plane intersects with cone at an angle. Ellipse has 2 foci, a major axis, as well as a minor axis.

Please Note:

Value of eccentricity(e) for ellipse is e < 1.
Ellipse has 2 directrices.
The conic section formula for an ellipse is: (x−h)²/a² + (y−k)²/b² = 1

Hyperbola

Hyperbola is formed when interesting plane is parallel to axis of the cone, and intersect with both nappes of the double cone.

General form of equation of hyperbola with (h, k) as the center is:

(x−h)²/a² - (y−k)²/b² = 1

Smoking increases the risk of lung problems. A study revealed that 170 in 1000 males who smoke develop lung complications, while 120 out of 1000 females who smoke develop lung related problems. In a colony, 50 people were found to be smokers of which 30 are males. A person is selected at random from these 50 people and tested for lung related problems. Based on the given information answer the following questions:

(i) What is the probability that selected person is a female?
(ii) If a male person is selected, what is the probability that he will not be suffering from lung problems?
(iii)(a) A person selected at random is detected with lung complications. Find the probability that selected person is a female.
OR
(iii)(b) A person selected at random is not having lung problems. Find the probability that the person is a male.
