Conics 2014-02-01
Kassidy pose la question :
Hey, I have searched through all the questions about conics and how people use them in the real world, but none of them were very specific on how they are applied and the process, why it's so important etc. I have a project due asking these questions and it's been very difficult finding the right answer, if you could name jobs, how they are use and specifically applied that would be greatly appreciated.

Conics 2009-02-05
Jay pose la question :
If you were to design your own picture of a conic, what would it look like? And also if you had to use two conics from the solar system and a solar oven...?

Conic sections 2008-04-14
Christine pose la question :
In my analysis class we are learning about conic sections. Our project is to create a genral statement of the definition of conic sections. Truthfully, I have absolutely no clue on how I should write that. Could you help me?

Parabolas in the real world 2007-05-18
Katherine pose la question :
Hi, my name is Katherine, and my mean old math teacher just assigned us a test in which we have to write two examples of how parabolas are used in the real world, each one page single spaced, size 12!! I know you have already answered some questions like this, but I still don't understand the whole baseball thing, and any other way parabolas are used. And how I can write a whole page on it. But that's my problem, not yours, I just need help with a little explanation on how parabolas are actually used today. I know this might be kind of confusing for you, but imagine how it is for me!!

A fountain as a parabola 2007-03-08
Emily pose la question :
I have to do a math project proving that something in real life is a parabola. I really need some help here because i don't know where to start. I want to do it on a fountain and prove it's a parabola but how do i do that? I would really appreciate it if you could help Emily

Conic sections 2006-11-19
Joyce pose la question :
My son has a project on conic sections. I need the following information on Parabola, Circle, ellipse,and hyperbola. He can't find the following information for each conic section: equations with explanations, four uses for each shape and Shape explanation.

The focus of a parabola 2006-10-01
Lily pose la question :
I have a mathematical assignment which includes applications of parabolas, hyperbolas and ellipses in the real world. I have been searching the internet and now I am ware that most of the applications of parabolas have a connection with what people call "the focus". However, I do not think I clearly understand what "the focus" of a parabola is. Would you please explain it to me?

A question on conics 2006-01-09
Reb pose la question :
i know how to convert the general formula into specific ones(ie.; a circle's specific formula x2 + y2 = r2 can be derived from this, and then you draw you graph), but i have no idea how to go from a graph to the general formula (you know the HUUUGE one...)

Quadratics 2005-01-05
Usman pose la question :
Hi, in my Grade 11 Functions math class we have been assigned the task of finding jobs and careers related to quadratics, I have done many searches but have been unsuccessful, then I saw your website and e-mailed. I also have to use an example of a math problem that the job uses, then solve it, this will all compile on bristol board for a presentation. I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me some links and references of sources that refer to this subject.

An elliptical table 2005-01-03
Roger pose la question :
Want to make an elliptical table, say the long (major) axis is 4 feet, and the short (minor) axis is 3 feet. I can construct this figure, but I'm trying to figure out what the exact dimension of a rectangle within this ellipse will be if I make the table a drop leaf type where the drop dimensions are equal for each end of both the long and short axes. Intuitively, it looks like there is one and only one solution.

Practical applications: parabolas and Pythagoras 2004-10-24
Connie pose la question :
Provide two examples of real life objects that incorporate parabolic shapes. Explain the reason why the parabolic shape was used in each object.

I need at least one practical application of the Pythagorean Theorem.

A conic 2004-08-10
A student pose la question :
My question is about this equation 32x*2 -18y*2 -64x +72y +248 =0 explain why as x goes to the infinity the graph of the conic looks like y= (3/4)X.

What I did to try to find the solution of this problem was to graph and then I thought that maybe trying to find the equation of the asymptotes I could do it, but it was useless -because the equation of the asymptotes is y= +4/3(X-1) -2 and that does not explain why tho conic looks like y=(3/4) x . I would really appreciate your help on this.

Uses of conic sections 2003-04-01
William pose la question :
My name is William and I am doing a research paper on conic sections for my 12th grade math class. Part of the project is to find two conic sections in our world today and explain what there purpose is. I really need help in this area because I've been searching the internet for where conic sections are used in our world today and I really can't find anything. If you can tell me specific building or a pyramid that contains conic sections that would be great. Or even something in the universe would be helpful.

The intersection of conics 2002-12-19
Glenda pose la question :
We are studying systems of equations where two conic sections are the two equations that we are solving simultaneously. We were studying the number of solutions that are possible if you have an ellipse and a parabola. We all agree that there can be none, one, two, three or four solutions. The question that the students had for me was whether or not a portion of an ellipse and a parabola can overlap and thereby allow an infinite number of solutions. What should I tell them?

Quadratics 2001-05-16
John pose la question :
I am in the final stages of a math project and I need to interview an expert for the last part. Please try to answer at least a few of these questions.
  1. How do you use quadratic equations in your everyday life?
  2. Do you find being a math expert very helpful in life?
  3. Is the quadratic equation useful to you?
  4. Why did you decide to become a math expert?
  5. What do you think is the most important function of the quadratic equation?

Bridges and parabolas 2000-11-18
Lauren pose la question :
My name is Lauren, and Im a secondary school student in Ontario. For my gr11 advanced math class I have to find out how and why parabolics are used in arch bridges and write 3 paragraphs on it. People who cohse satelites and whatnot are lucky - I've found a ton of info, but for arch bridges there seems to be nothing.

Rectangular hyperbola 1999-12-15
Aarti Chand pose la question :
Why do they call a rectangular hyperbola, rectangular and where the normal hyperbola looks like a rectangle and the rectangular hyperbola looks like a sqaure?

Two conics 1999-12-07
Quinn pose la question :
I know the formula to find the axis of symmetry of a conic section (I'm not sure what shape - circle for the first one??) is (-D/2A,-E/2C) but I obviously don't get how to calculate it, because when I check the answer it's wrong, but I'm so close!! For the following equations my teacher suggested to "divide the x term coefficient, D, by the x squared term coefficient before...do the same for y."

2x2+2y2-8x+12y+16=0

Graphing Inequalities of Conic Sections 1997-03-24
James Sheldon pose la question :
I'm trying to graph Systems of Conic Sections with inequalities, but I'm running into problems on which area to shade:
x^2+y^2 is greater than or equal to 16
xy > 4

So I graph these two equations, and then my teacher said to substitute a point into it but I'm still not sure how to do it...
