I Graphing a Conic Section
You can use the CONICS mode to graph parabolas, circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas. You can
input a rectangular coordinate function, polar coordinate function, or parametric function for
graphing.
1. From the Main Menu, enter the CONICS mode.
2. Select the function type.
(RECT).... {rectangular coordinate}
(POL).... {polar coordinate}
(PARM).... {parametric}
3. Select the pattern of the function in accordance with the type of graph you want to draw.

4. Enter the coefficients of the function and draw the graph.
Example To input the rectangular coordinate function
x = 2y

+ y − 1 and graph a
parabola open on the right, and then input the polar coordinate function
r = 4cos
