CONICS ARTWORK!

• Programming Conics Artwork on the Graphing
  Calculator to successfully TEACH the Conic
  Sections!!

2
Some of the Project Requirements

• Create a drawing/design on graph paper (cartoon
  character, sports object or mascot, design or a
  sceneBE CREATIVE!!). It should include (at
  least) the following 10 graphs (or pieces of
  graphs in your creation
• a.     1 circle
• b.     1 horizontal or vertical ellipse (or 1 of
  each)
• c.      1 vertical (or horizontal)parabola
• d.       2 lines
• e.     1 absolute value graph
• f. any 4 more conic equations of your choice

More Project Requirements

• Create a table with four vertical columns titled
  as indicated and fill in the information for each
  numbered graph of your sketch.
• Then Just WRITE THE PROGRAM!! ?
