Conic Sections for Macintosh Conic Sections is a collection of interactive mathematical visualizations for exploring circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. It builds them from explicit equations, geometric constructions and parametric equations in rectangular and polar coordinates....
Introduction to Conic Sections Conic sections will be defined in two different ways in this unit. 1.The set of points formed by the intersection of a plane and a double-napped cone. 2.The set of points satisfying certain conditions in relationship to a fixed point and a fixed line or to ...
11.4 Shifted Conics 11.5 Rotation of Axes 11.6 Polar Equations of Conics FOCUS ON MODELING Conics in Architecture Circle Ellipse Parabola Hyperbola Our goal in this chapter is to find equations whose graphs are the conic sections. We already know from Section 1.8 that the graph of the equation...
