    Those who are preparing for any competive exam such as JEE Main, NDA and others really need to memorise formulas. Check the important formulas below;  

    Circle

    • Standard equation (center at origin): x2+y2=r2
      x^2 + y^2 = r^2

    • General form: x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0

    • Center = (–g, –f), Radius = ?(g² + f² – c)

     Parabola: 

    • Standard form (horizontal axis): y2=4ax
      y^2 = 4ax

    • Standard form (vertical axis): x2=4ay
      x^2 = 4ay

    • Vertex: (0, 0)

    • Focus: (a, 0) or (0, a)

    • Directrix: x = –a or y = –a

    • Latus rectum = 4a

    Ellipse: Check all the important topics related to this topic below;

    • Standard form (major axis along x-axis): 
      • x2a2+y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 where a > b

      • Eccentricity: e=1?b2a2
        e = \sqrt{1 - \frac{b^2}{a^2}}

    • Foci: (±ae, 0)

    • Latus rectum: 2b2a\frac{2b^2}{a}

    Hyperbola: Students can check impor

M1 M2 = 1

2tt23×2/631t2=1

t = 1

So, A (1, 2) and B (1, 2) they must be end pts of focal chord.

Length of latus rectum =2b2a

4=2b2a

b2 = 2a and ae = 1

Eccentricity of ellipse (Horizontal)

b2 = a2 (1 – e2)

2a = a2 (1 – e2)

2 = 1e (1e2)

e2 + 2e – 1 = 0

e=2±4+42

e=1+2

now 1e2=3+2

Given hyperbola : kx26y26=1 so eccentricity e = 1+k and directrices x=±ae

x=±6kk+16kk+1=1

k = 2 therefore equation of hyperbola is x23y26=1

hence it passes through the point  (5, 2)

Abscissae of PQ are roots of x2 – 4x – 6 = 0

Ordinates of PQ are roots of y2 + 2y – 7 = 0 and PQ is diameter

Equation of circle is x 2 + y 2 4 x + 2 y 1 3 = 0   ……………. (i)

But, given  x 2 + y 2 + 2 a x + 2 b y + c = 0 ……………. (ii)

By comparison a = -2, b = 1, c = -13 Þ a + b – c = -2 + 1 + 13 = 12
