Conic Faces Lab

Conic Faces Lab Accelerated Precalculus Your next lab is to construct a face that is made of conic sections. Use your graphing calculator (with a limited domain, if needed) to draw a face. You need to use all 4 types of conic sections in your face, but you may use other types of graphs as well, if you like. And, of course, you may use a particular conic section more than once. Once you get a “nice face”, use TI Connect to print out the face, the window, and the equations of the conics from your calculator. Also, write each of the conics in standard form for that conic beside the printed equation. Then get creative, transfer your face to the “Paint” program and color your face. Print this final face as well – I’d like to see both the “before” and “after” pictures. This will be graded on: A) Following directions (using all 4 conics, writing (typing) them in both forms, printing the equations, printing the window), B) Accuracy (Are equations solved correctly? Do points of intersection really intersect at the correct place?), C) Neatness (Are your equations typed well?) and D) Creativity and overall effect (Color, complexity). Your face is due Wednesday, December 10, 2014. Enjoy!!
