preCalculus Honors 2018-2019: What Are Conic Sections? (January)

preCalculus Honors 2018-2019:
What Are Conic Sections?
(January)

Chapter09 SCREENCASTS

CHAPTER10 SCREENCASTS



With Chapter 9 finished our 8 Week Trig Boot Camp studying Polar Graphs and Vector Arithmetic. We found Polar Coodinate systems to be most useful when plotting none functions: Roses, Cardioids and Lemniscates. We then went on to adding, subtracting and multiplying 2D and 3D Cartesian Vectors! Remember: Dot Products and Cross Products are not the same!

After Midterms we played with Chapter 10: Conic Sections! We talked about General vs. Standard Form Conics for Parbolas, Ellipses and Hyperbolas! We even used Polar Coordinates when rotating conics. We played around with Parametric mode too. Gotta love those Parabolic Mirrors, Elliptical Planet Orbits, Whisper Gallery, LORAN and Projectile Motion problems!
