. Content Connections Finding Conic Section Graphs to Match Real Life Objects Objective To learn to create conic sections and examine their applications. Background For this activity you will need access to Desmos graphing calculator. You may access Desmos for free from: https:waw.desmos.comfcalculator The magic of this tool is that you can type in an equation like 3x + 5y = 2 without solving it rst for "y=". You can put in a variable such as "a" and change the value by using the slider, OR, by putting in specic values for "a" to create an animation. You can restrict your graph's domain by going {x>-4}, or restrict the range by going {-4 s y
