Some examples of conic sections in everyday life lead to a detailed study of two numerical applications of conic sections: parabolic versus ellipsoidal headlight designs in cars, and the hyperbola-shaped path of the sonic boom of an airplane. (10 minutes)

Applications of Quadratics
View Video Clip
Several common applications of quadratic equations are explained through real-world scenarios. Newton's law for describing the path of a projectile is examined, along with some static geometry problems that hinge on quadratics; in addition, a quadra...(more details)
 
Slicing the Cone
View Video Clip
The standard double right circular cone is introduced, and the seven conic sections are discovered when the cone is sliced at various positions and angles with a plane. The circle, ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola are explored in detail, and their fu...(more details)
 
Applications of Sinusoidal Waves

Several applications of sinusoidal waves are presented, including the path of a pendulum. A discussion of acoustics leads to a look at how the characteristics of a sinusoidal wave affect the quality of the produced sound, in pitch, intensity, and ton...(more details)
 
Applications of Sine and Cosine Laws

Several oblique triangles are solved by means of the sine and cosine laws, and viewers learn how to select and use the law that will work for each triangle. (10 minutes)(more details)
 
Parabolas
View Video Clip
The standard equation for a parabola is given, and the concepts of focus and directrix are developed. Transformation techniques are used to illustrate the properties of parabola families, and to obtain the combined general equation. Finding the gener...(more details)
