Introductory Message
For the facilitator:
This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators both
from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator in helping
the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming
their personal, social, and economic constraints in schooling.
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their
needs and circumstances.
In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:
As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:
The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to
process the contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.
What I Need to Know This will give you an idea of the skills or
competencies you are expected to learn in the
module.
3
Assessment This is a task which aims to evaluate your
level of mastery in achieving the learning
competency.
1. Use the module with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the
module. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises.
2. Don’t forget to answer What I Know before moving on to the other activities
included in the module.
3. Read the instruction carefully before doing each task.
4. Observe honesty and integrity in doing the tasks and checking your answers.
5. Finish the task at hand before proceeding to the next.
6. Return this module to your teacher/facilitator once you are through with it.
If you encounter any difficulty in answering the tasks in this module, do not
hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator. Always bear in mind that you are
not alone.
We hope that through this material, you will experience meaningful learning and
gain deep understanding of the relevant competencies. You can do it!

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master
the Conic Sections and Systems of Nonlinear Equations. The scope of this module
permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used
recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow
the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be
changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

Lesson Different Conic Section:
What’s In
To begin with, let us have a short drill. For this activity, you will be
needing a paper, a pair of scissors, a ruler and a tape or a glue.
Step 1: Draw a circle on a paper. It’s up to you how big or how small the
circle will be.
Step 2: Cut off the circle.
Step 3. Draw a triangle wedge/ slice. To do that, make a mark from the
center then draw out two straight lines.
Step 4. Cut the triangle slide out of the circle.
Step 5: Bring the cut edges of your circle together. You can overlap it if you
want to fit your desire broadness of the bottom.
Step 6: Glue or tape the edges inside to close.
What shape have you forms? Can you still recall its properties? What is its
area and volume?
You just form a cone. Area can be denoted by the formula 𝐴 = 𝜋𝑟𝑠 + 𝜋𝑟 2
where 𝑟 is its radius 𝑠 is the slant height. Its volume is determined by the formula
1
𝑉 = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ where ℎ is its height.
3
For this lesson, we are going to explore the conics and illustrate the curves
and figure found after intersecting a plane on its different sections.
8
What’s New
Using a plane and a cone, draw all the possible intersections you can think of
between these two. Draw them inside the box provided. Use additional sheets of
paper if necessary. One is already done for you.
Questions:

What is It
Let us now look at each conic section and how they are formed.
I. Circle
Figure 1
II. Ellipse
An ellipse is formed when the (tilted) plane intersects only one cone to form a
bounded curve.
In Figure 1, the top half part of the figure shows the usual ellipse that you will
see in this subject while the bottom part is a circle which is considered a special
ellipse.
III. Parabola
A parabola is formed when the plane intersects only one
cone to form an unbounded curve. (See Figure 2).
Figure 2
10
IV. Hyperbola
Figure 3
V. Degenerate Cases
A point, one line, and two lines are also formed when a plane and cone
intersect. They are referred to as degenerate cases. (See Figure 4)
Figure 4
These is how the conic sections are formed. In the next lessons of this module,
you will learn their definitions, equations and other terms related to each section
formed.

What I Can Do

The association of Mathematics Teachers had organized a seminar for
secondary mathematics teachers in your region. The theme of the seminar is on conic
sections and their application to real life. Inclusive of the registration fee are meals
and snacks, program, training kits and a T-shirt. The association desires to come up
with a common computer-generated graphics design for the front cover of the
program, tarpaulin for the stage and the T-shirts. The details of the design feature
the equations and graphs of conic sections and their practical application to life
situations.
You are one of the famous designers/ graphic artists in your province.
Knowing your expertise in Mathematics, you were contracted by the association to
create a design for each of the three mentioned aspects of the seminar. The following
are the additional instructions given:
a. The design should contain any of the characteristics (graphs, equations,
properties) of any of the four conic sections- circle, parabola, ellipse and
hyperbola.
b. There should be at most five colors used in the design.
c. For the T-shirt, the design should include the title of the seminar,
theme, date, and venue. You are free to position the text with respect to
the design that you have created.
d. The front cover of the program and the tarpaulin should indicate the
title of the seminar, theme, date, and venue, and the name of the
association.
e. The design should be relevant to the theme of the seminar.
The design will be evaluated by the officers of the association based on its
relevance to the theme, originality, creativity and overall visual quality/
impact.
