Translate and Classify Conic Sections
California Standard: 17.0: Given a quadratic equation of the form , students can use the method for completing the square to put the equation into standard form and can recognize whether the graph of the equation is a circle, ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola. Students can then graph the equation.
By following instructions, students will be able to: OBJECTIVE(S): By following instructions, students will be able to: Translate conic sections.
