Key concepts
Any conic may be determined by a single focus, the corresponding eccentricity, and the directrix. We can also define a conic in terms of a fixed point, the focus
at the pole, and a line, the directrix, which is perpendicular to the polar axis.
A conic is the set of all points
where eccentricity
is a positive real number. Each conic may be written in terms of its polar equation. See

The polar equations of conics can be graphed. See

We can use the identities

Section exercises
Verbal
Explain how eccentricity determines which conic section is given.
If eccentricity is less than 1, it is an ellipse. If eccentricity is equal to 1, it is a parabola. If eccentricity is greater than 1, it is a hyperbola.
