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.
