Lesson: Identifying Conic Sections Mathematics

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to convert the general form of conic section equations into any of the standard forms.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

  • convert between general and standard forms of equations of conic sections,
  • identify whether an equation of a conic section describes a parabola, a circle, a noncircular ellipse, or a hyperbola by examining its discriminant.
