The extreme point is called a vertex.
A conic section is the intersection of a plane and a cone. By changing the angle and location of intersection, we can produce a circle, ellipse, parabola or hyperbola; or in the special case when the plane touches the vertex: a point, line or 2 intersecting lines.Traditionally, the three types of conic section are the hyperbola, the parabola, and the ellipse. The circle is a special case of the ellipse, and is of sufficient interest in its own right that it is sometimes called the fourth type of conic section.
it depends which way it curls. if it goes to the right its a hyperbola line grpah and if it goes to the left its a parabola line graph.
right

To find the value of a in a parabola opening up or down subtract the y-value of the parabola at the vertex from the y-value of the point on the parabola that is one unit to the right of the vertex.
There are several ways of defining a parabola. Here are some:Given a straight line and a point not on that line, a parabola is the locus of all points that are equidistant from that point (the focus) and the line (directrix).A parabola is the intersection of the surface of a right circular cone and a plane parallel to a generating line of that surface.A parabola is the graph of a quadratic equation.
Defn: A hyperbola is said to be a rectangular hyperbola if its asymptotes are at right angles. Std Eqn: The standard rectangular hyperbola xy = c2
true
Yes. Picture an upside down hyperbola and a right side up hyperbola. Connect their vertices and there you have it. Example: y = x^2 and y = -x^2
By "double right cone" do you mean one right cone sitting normal with another right cone upside-down atop the first cone? If so, then we you take that double right cone and intersect it with a plane at different angles, you get the conic sections. (i.e. hyperbola, parabola, elipse, circle)
True
