Today in class we discussed more facets of ellipses and hyperboles. In other words, we learned how to write equations and draw both kinds of figures when given only a certain amount of starting information (ex. verticies and foci, center and foci, asymptotes, etc.).
-Also, we learned that "a" and "b" simply represent distances from the center of the figure.
-Where the asymptotes intersect on a hyperbola is the center of the hyperbola.
This is mostly useful information for our quiz on Thursday, Feburary 12th.
