Drawing an Ellipse

You can draw an ellipse by specifying coefficients for the standard equation:

Example: To draw the ellipse

u ClassPad Operation

(1) On the Conics Editor window, tap q, or tap [Form] and then [Insert Conics Form].

• This displays the Select Conics Form dialog box.

(2) Select “ ” and then tap [OK].

• This closes the Select Conics Form dialog box, and displays the selected equation in

the Conics Editor window.

(3) Change the coefficients of the equation as follows: A = 2, B = 3, H = 1, K = 2.

(4) Tap ^ to graph the equation.
