Conic Sections

In this conic section worksheet, students complete a thirty-one question practice test containing matching and problem solving conic equation and conic graph problems.  The solutions are provided.

In this ellipses and hyperbolas worksheet, students solve 8 short answer and graphing problems. Students graph ellipses, hyperbolas, and parabolas given an equation. Students identify the foci of an ellipse or hyperbola.

In this graphs learning exercise, students solve and complete 15 various types of problems. First, they determine the range of the function of the graph shown and write in interval notation. Then, students find the domain of the function...

In this conic sections worksheet, students solve and complete 8 different problems identifying various types of conic sections. First, they write each equation given in standard form. Then, students determine whether the graph of each of...

In this algebra instructional activity, students solve problems involving functions, systems and conics. They simplify radicals and graph parabolas identifying the focus and ellipse. There are 20 questions.

Students describe conic sections from an equation or graph. They examine a family of conics that share a vertex, describe their relationship and write an equation. Students interpret the relationship between conic sections and write...

This is the last of three well-done videos on identifying and graphing conic sections from an equation. Here, Sal graphs a circle that is not centered at the origin and a parabola that opens downward.

After watching this video, you should be able to write an equation for a conic section in standard form and identify the conic section from its equation. In an example problem, Sal reviews how to complete the square and graph an ellipse...

Math scholars study conics and how they are used today. In this mathematical lesson, pupils construct and slice cones after viewing a demonstration. 

In this parabolic exercise, students find the vertex and axis of symmetry of parabolas, hyperbolas, and ellipses. They sketch the graph. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.
