Chapter 4: Conics Application

  115

You can select one of the preset Conics Forms or input a conics equation manually. You can also transform a 
manually input equation to a Conics Form.

u To input an equation using a Conics Form

1. On the Conics Editor window, tap q to displays the 

Select Conics Form dialog box.

2. Select the Conics Form of the type of equation you 

want to graph, and then tap [OK].

• This displays the Conics Editor window, which will 

contain the selected Conics Form.

3. Change the coefficients of the equation as required.

General Form

  To use a Conics Form to input the equation for a parabola with a horizontal axis (principal axis parallel 

with 

-axis)

u To input an equation manually

Make the Conics Editor window active, and then use the soft keyboard for input.

•  If the equation you input cannot be transformed into the standard Conics Form you selected, the message “Can’t 

Transform into This Type” appears.

•  An input equation may not transform correctly if it includes a square root calculation or some other function.

  You can drag the Conics Graph window screen to scroll (pan) its contents (except for Trace, Sketch, G-Solve, box 

zoom, and certain other functions).

A parabola can be drawn with either a horizontal or vertical orientation. The parabola type is determined by the 
direction of its principal axis.

• A parabola with a horizontal axis is one whose principal axis is parallel to the 

-axis. There are two possible 

equations for a parabola with a horizontal axis: 

 = A(

 – K)

 + H and 

 = A

• A parabola with a vertical axis is one whose principal axis is parallel to the 

-axis. There are two possible 

equations for a parabola with a vertical axis:
