How many of the following statements are correct ___

1. A conic with eccentricity equal to one is called a parabola

2. If $a x^{2} + 2 h x y + b y^{2} + 2 g x + 2 f y + c = 0$ represents a parabola, then

$a b c + 2 f g h - a f^{2} - b g^{2} - c h^{2} \neq 0 a n d h^{2} = a b$

Solution

First statement is the definition of parabola. we call the conic with eccentricity equal to one, parabola.

The second statement is related to how to find if a given equation represents a parabola. To find that, we have to find $△ = a b c + 2 f g h - a f^{2} - b g^{2} - c h^{2}$

If $△ \neq 0 a n d h^{2} = a b$ , it represents a parabola.
