  1. 1Conic Sections and CirclesSee how cutting a cone produces curves, then build and interpret circle equations from distance.
  2. 2Parabolas: Focus, Directrix, and OrientationBuild a parabola from equal distances and use its orientation, focus and focal chord to solve problems.
  3. 3Ellipses: Two Foci and a Constant SumTurn a constant sum of distances into an ellipse equation and connect its axes, foci and eccentricity.
  4. 4Hyperbolas: Two Foci and a Constant DifferenceUnderstand two-branch curves through constant distance difference and build their standard equations.
  5. 5Chapter Summary and PracticeConnect every conic, choose equations from geometry, and solve mixed modelling and reasoning problems.
