Curves from Geometry (Continued)


Description

In the previous lessons, students learned how to describe an ellipse, how to graph an ellipse, and how to derive the standard equation of an ellipse knowing its foci. In this lesson, students learn to perform these tasks for a hyperbola. The opening of the lesson establishes a connection between ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas in the context of the orbital path of a satellite.
