Well another TechnoDay has occured. In Geometry, we went to the computer lab and worked with Geometer Sketchpad and understanding more about iterations and similarity. The homework is to prepare for the test on Friday.
In Advanced Algebra, we discussed how to interpret the different conic sections by looking at the equations. For instance:
1. parabola equations - they always have at most one quadratic term with degree one for one variable and the other variable is degree one.
2. circle equations - they always have two quadratic terms with degree two and whose coefficients are positive one.
3. ellipse equations - they always have two quadratic terms with degree two and whose coefficients are primarily a number other than one.
4. hyperbola equations - they always have two quadratic terms with degree two and whose coefficients are primarily a number other than one; and either the coefficient is -1 for x^2 or for y^2.
The quiz is this Friday.
BE SAFE AND STUDY!
