Objective: Students will be able to apply the graphing of conics to a real-world situation by creating their own picture.
Specific Instructions:
1. Use a minimum of six conic curves and four lines to create a picture of your choice. No abstract art is allowed. Your picture must
include at least three of the four conics studied.
2. For one of the equations, write the relationship as an inequality to show the coloring that would be used. Algebra must be used to
prove the intersection points for any two of the equations.
3. Your final product cannot be computer-generated; however, any graphing calculator (i.e. Geogebra or Desmos) may be used as a
checking tool throughout the process.
4. Final output must be done on the rectangular Cartesian plane at the back.
Materials: graphing paper, colored pencils or markers and computer graphics software or graphing calculator
