Question

How to identify equeations of different conics (circle,ellipse,hyperbola)and properties like (centre,foci,etc) given in complex number system(Z).

Solution

For an ellipse, there are two foci a,ba,b, and the sum of the distances to both foci is constant. So |z−a|+|z−b|=c|z−a|+|z−b|=c.

For a hyperbola, there are two foci a,ba,b, and the absolute value of the difference of the distances to both foci is constant. So ||z−a|−|z−b||=c||z−a|−|z−b||=c.

For a parabola, there is a focus aa and a line b+ctb+ct (where b,cb,c are complex and the parameter tt is real.) The distances to both must be equal. The distance to the focus is |z−a|
