Conic Menu
The Conic Menu will graph conics in an (H, K) form, such as x = A(y – K )
2
+ H, a standard
form such as x = Ay
2
+ By + C, or the general form, Ax
2
+ Bxy + Cy
2
+ Dx + Ey + F = 0.
The general form includes rotated conics. The easiest way to input the equation for the
relation is to insert a form, and edit the coefcients.
The G-Solve commands will display important features related to conics, such as a center,
vertices, foci, and asymptotes.
1. Graph .
Tap m, then the Conics icon.
Tap
q.
Select the form for this hyperbola, and tap OK.
Edit the coefcients A, B, H, and K. Highlight the
letter and press the key for the number. For K,
also change from subtraction to addition.
Tap
