Lesson: Polar Equation of a Conic Mathematics

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to determine the type of a conic section (ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola) and write polar equations of conics given the eccentricity and some other characteristic.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

  • identify information about a conic section from its polar equation,
  • write the polar equation of a conic section from
    • its equation in rectangular form,
    • its properties,
    • its graph,
  • solve real-world problems using the polar equation of a conic section.
