=Introduction= Did you know conic sections represent real life things everyday. Many people think circles, ellipses, parabolas and hyperbolas are only used in math, when in reality you use them every day. You will first need to understand what types of things they represent through watching a youtube video on conic sections. We are going to take the time explore different conic sections represented in sports. This will help you be aware of the differences between each of the conic sections. =Task= You and two other people have been chosen as a team of marketers representing Texas Instrument. Your team is to create an advertisement for Texas Instrument advertising the new graphing calculator called the TI-413 the company is producing. You and your team will be competing against other teams for the most creative/persuading advertisement which will be judged by the board of directors for Texas Instrument. Your team will need to use this graphing calculator in an advertisement by graphing conic sections that you have found through a specific sport.
