UNIT 3 - Conics & Systems
IN THIS UNIT STUDENTS WILL BE EXPECTED TO:
- Use Algebra to model Geometric ideas.
- Spend time developing equations from geometric definition of circles and parabolas.
- Address equations in standard and general forms.
- Graph by hand and by using graphing technology.
- Address parabolas as a type of conic section and make connections as to how parabolas were addressed in previous course work.
- Develop the idea of algebraic proof in conjunction with writing formal geometric proofs.
