The Completing-the-Square method is the basic method for handling 2nd degree problems.We summarize the hyperbola and parabola below.
Hyperbolas
HyperbolasJust as all the other conic sections, hyperbolas are defined by distance relations.
Hyperbolas
Given two fixed points, called foci, a hyperbola is the set of points whose difference of the distances to the foci is a constant.
Just as all the other conic sections, hyperbolas are defined by distance relations.

Parabolas
Given a fixed point F, and a line L, the points that are of equal distance from F the line L is a parabola. Hence a = A, b = B, c = C as shown below.For more information, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola
Finally, we illustrate the definition that’s based on distance measurements of the parabolas.
