Patrick Jmt: Conic Sections: Hyperbolas an Introduction

Here is an example in this video of graphing a hyperbola centered at the origin. First, Sal shows solving for the equations of the asymptotes and then shows how to determine the direction of the hyperbola. He takes the approach of not...

Continuing with the study of graphing hyperbolas, Sal shows an example of graphing a parabola that is centered at a point off the origin. By looking at the equation, first without shifting it, he helps listeners develop an intuitive...

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.

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...

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...

In this video, Sal shows again how to write an equation of a conic section in standard form and identify the conic section it represents. This time, his example is of a hyperbola (not centered at the origin), which he also graphs.

A video lesson that goes through four example problems dealing with conic sections. Topics covered include: finding the vertex of a parabola from its equation; finding the asymptotes of a hyperbola and then sketching its graph;...
