The document discusses conic sections and ellipses. Conic sections are graphs of quadratic equations of the form Ax2 + By2 + Cx + Dy = E, where A and B are not both 0. Their graphs include circles, ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas. Ellipses are defined as the set of all points where the sum of the distances to two fixed foci is a constant. Ellipses have a center, two axes called the semi-major and semi-minor axes, and radii along the x and y axes called the x-radius and y-radius. The standard form of an ellipse equation is presented.
