What are the most common mistakes students make in Conic Sections?
remember: circle e=0, ellipse 0<e<1, parabola e=1, hyperbola e>1.
Top mistakes to avoid in Conic Sections: • remember: circle e=0, ellipse 0<e<1, parabola e=1, hyperbola e>1. • mixing up which conic each eccentricity range gives. • confusing the focus (a point) with the directrix (a line). • mismatching the axis of the parabola with its equation.
