Outcomes

In this lesson you will

  • rewrite equations of circles from general form to transformational form

By the end of this section students will be able to:

  • analyze and translate between symbolic, graphic, and written representations of circles and ellipses
  • translate between different forms of equations of circles and ellipses
  • write proofs using various axiomatic systems and assess the validity of deductive arguments
  • write the equations of circles and ellipses in transformational form and as mapping rules to visualize and sketch graphs
  • demonstrate an understanding of the transformational relationship between a circle and an ellipse
  • apply properties of circles
  • solve problems involving the equations and characteristics of circles and ellipses

Prerequisites

To be successful in this lesson, it would be helpful to know the following:

  • algebraic operations necessary to rearrange an equation
