Assignment #9:
- Go to the site Occurrence of the Conics and read through the applications given for ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas.
- Choose one application for each of two different types of conic section for a total of two. If you know of a different application not included on this site you can use that as well.
- You are going to create two application problems (choose two different types of conic sections) related to the applications you chose in step 2. Each of those should include the problem statement, a drawing or picture to illustrate it, and a solution to the problem. Make sure the numbers you use in your problem are realistic to the scenario. This may require a little more research.
- Place your answers in the appropriate spot on your quiz.
