(5) Algebra and geometry. The student knows the relationship between the geometric and algebraic descriptions of conic sections. The student is expected to:

  • (A) describe a conic section as the intersection of a plane and a cone;
  • (B) sketch graphs of conic sections to relate simple parameter changes in the equation to corresponding changes in the graph;(C) identify symmetries from graphs of conic sections;
  • (D) identify the conic section from a given equation; and
  • (E) use the method of completing the square.
