General Quadratic Relation: An Introduction
Discusses the difference between a relation and a function, and focuses on developing the general quadratic relation and the conic sections that it defines.
-
Probability
This review of the basics of probability shows how permutations can be used to solve probability problems in which order plays a role. New technology in DNA fingerprinting is one of the applications featured.
-
General Quadratic Relation: Circles and Ellipses
Physical characteristics of the circle and ellipse are identified and related to the parameters of the general quadratic relation. The connection between A and C and the effects of changing D, E and F are determined.
-
Probability: Combinatorics
The probability of card games demonstrates the application of combinatorics to probability problems. Explores questions involving complementary probabilities and the phrases “at least” and “at most.”
-
General Quadratic Relations: Parabola and Hyperbolas
Provides an understanding of the general quadratic relation, Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0, where B = 0 with respect to parabolas and hyperbolas.
-
Binomial Theorme (Pascal’s Triangle)
The connection between Pascal’s Triangle and binomial distribution is made using a model. Pascal’s Triangle is used to carry out binomial expansion and solve problems.
-
Locus and Eccentricity of the Parabola
Presents several approaches that can be used to investigate the shape of the parabola. Locus and eccentricity are explained and then used to solve problems that involve determining and analysing equations of various parabolas.
