📐 Standard Conic Parametric Equations:
  • Parabola (\(y^2 = 4ax\)): \( (x, y) = (at^2, 2at) \)
  • Ellipse (\(\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2}\) = 1\)): \( (x, y) = (a\cos\(\theta\), b\sin\(\theta\)) \)
  • Hyperbola (\(\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2}\) = 1\)): \( (x, y) = (a\sec\(\theta\), b\tan\(\theta\)) \)
  • Shifted Circle Center \((h,k)\): \( (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 \)
