Instructional Video

Foci of a Hyperbola, Conic Sections, Algebra II

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Sal defines a hyperbola's vertex and foci in this video and shows how to locate both. By comparing the hyperbola to an ellipse throughout the video, the listener sees the similarities between these two conic sections. This approach makes the concepts more easily understood.

Introduction to Conic Sections, Conic Sections, Algebra II

Here, parabolas, circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas are introduced by showing a general graph of each. By showing the intersection of a plane and a cone to create the different conic sections, one can see how these curves are related.
