111.35.c.5

(5) The student uses conic sections, their properties, and parametric representations, as well as tools and technology, to model physical situations. The student is expected to:

• (A) use conic sections to model motion, such as the graph of velocity vs. position of a pendulum and motions of planets;

• (B) use properties of conic sections to describe physical phenomena such as the reflective properties of light and sound;

• (C) convert between parametric and rectangular forms of functions and equations to graph them; and

• (D) use parametric functions to simulate problems involving motion.
