Closed Captioned Video: Algebra Applications: Functions and Relations, Segment 1: Introduction |
Scientists use conic sections to map the trajectories of spacecraft in flight. The setting for this episode is a planned future flight to Mars. As the ship travels from Earth to Mars, parabolic, circular, and elliptical paths are explored. In the process students will learn the difference between a quadratic relation and a quadratic function. |

Closed Captioned Video: Algebra Applications: Functions and Relations, Segment 2: Parabolic Paths |
The liftoff and pre-orbital path of the rock is described by a parabola. Students explore the properties of parabolas from the standpoint of the parametric equations that describe the horizontal and vertical directions of motion for the rocket. |

Closed Captioned Video: Algebra Applications: Functions and Relations, Segment 3: Circular Paths |
The path of a rocket orbiting the Earth can be modeled with the equation of a circle. Students explore the quadratic relation and the parametric equations that can be used to model the path of a spacecraft orbiting Earth. |
