Quarter 1 – Module 1:
Conic Sections
Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Pre-Calculus – Grade 11 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module

on Conic Sections!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators

both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in

helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while

overcoming their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent

learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help

learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their

needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body

of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.

You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage

their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the

learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Pre-Calculus – Grade 11 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) Module

on Conic Sections!

The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used
to depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities
for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled
to process the contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

What I Need to Know This will give you an idea of the skills or
competencies you are expected to learn in the
module.

2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other activities
included in the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not
hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are
not alone.

We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning and
gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

 What is It

Conic Section
A conic section is a curved formed by the intersection of the plane. The three types
of conics: parabola, hyperbola, ellipse and the circle a special type of conics.
Conic sections are formed when a plane intersects a cone. A cone has two identical
parts called the nappes.

A Circle is formed when the plane is perpendicular to the axis.

A parabola is formed when the plane is parallel to the generating line.

11
An ellipse is formed when the plane intersects one nappe of the cone at an angle to
the axis.

A hyperbola if formed when the plane intersects both halves of a double cone but
not passing through the axis.

The degenerated conic sections are not curves but formed by the intersection of the
plane and a double right circular cone.

2. Line
3. intersecting lines
