PERFORMANCE TASK
“Desmos Graphing Project”
Deadline of submission: October 29, 2021
INSTRUCTIONS:
Below is a list of equations that corresponds to any of the conic sections and nondegenerate
curves.

Note: Disregard the information found inside the { }, these are simply restrictions to the domain and range of
the equations to better illustrate it in the graph.

Your task is….

1. Divide the class into groups with 4-5 members.
2. Examine the equations above.
3. Determine whether the equation is a circle, parabola, hyperbola, ellipse, a point, or a line.
4. If the equation represents a conic section, find the following:
a. Circle
o Coordinates of the center and radius
b. Parabola
o Coordinates of the vertex, focus and equation of the directrix
c. Ellipse
o Coordinates of the center, foci, vertices
d. Hyperbola
o Coordinates of the center, foci, vertices, equation of the asymptote.
5. Go to desmos.com/calculator and encode the equations above as well as the domain and
range restrictions. You may edit the colors to make it more presentable.
6. Take a screenshot of the final picture and attach it in 1 PDF file along with the answer to #3
and #4.
7. Brightspace and GForm submission link will open next Monday, October 25.
8. You are free to write / type and organize your answers however you want as long as it is
comprehensive and in ONE PDF FILE.
