	What jobs use conics?		2009-10-22
		From denise: i have to type a paper on what jobs use conics and i can not find anything can you help thanks Denise Answered by Penny Nom.
	Conics		2009-02-05
		From Jay: 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...? Answered by Robert Dawson.
	CIRCLES		2008-07-07
		From daryl: Find the equation of the smaller circle that is tangent to the axes and the circle x(squared)+y(squared)=2x+2y-1? Answered by Penny.
	Conic sections		2008-04-14
		From Christine: 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? Answered by Walter Whiteley.
	Identifying a conic from its equation		2007-08-19
		From Robin: Hi, Do you have any tips how to identify a conic from its equation? Answered by Leeanne Boehm and Steve La Rocque.
	What jobs involve using conics?		2007-02-21
		From Nicki: What jobs involve using conics? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Conic sections		2006-11-19
		From Joyce: 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. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Some applications of conic sections		2006-11-13
		From Burt: how are circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas used in everyday life Answered by Penny Nom.
	A question on conics		2006-01-09
		From Reb: 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...) Answered by Penny Nom.
	A conic		2004-08-10
		From A student: 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. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Uses of conic sections		2003-04-01
		From William: 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. Answered by Leeanne Boehm.
	The intersection of conics		2002-12-19
		From Glenda: 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? Answered by Chris Fisher and Harley Weston.
	Conics		2002-05-29
		From Brooke: Which conic cannot be generated by an intersection of a plane and a double napped cone? Answered by Chris Fisher.
	Parabolas		2002-02-03
		From Kuang: -Who is credited for working with or studying the Parabola? -What is a conic section? -What does a parabola look like? -How is a parabola formed? -Where and how are parabolas used today in the real world? Answered by Harley Weston.
	Circles, ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas		2001-05-09
		From Colleen: How is an ellipse like a circle? In what way does an ellipse have a center? How is a hyperbola similar and different to an ellipse? How is a parabola similar a different to a circle ellipse and parabola? Answered by Pnny Nom.
	Rectangular hyperbola		1999-12-15
		From Aarti Chand: 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? Answered by Chris Fisher.
	Two conics		1999-12-07
		From Quinn: 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 . . . Answered by Penny Nom.
	Graphing Inequalities of Conic Sections		1997-03-24
		From James Sheldon: 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...
