Hey everyone. Just out of curiosity, do you have to know the derivation of the equations of the ellipse, hyperbola, rectangular hyperbola?

 

[blackops23]

yeah, not real hard tho, for each one you just need to remember what you have to divide by to obtain the equation, like i forget for which one, but derivation of one them, you have to divide by a^2*b^2

 

[slyhunter]

Yes. Definitely know them.

You need to know the one for ellipse only I think. I might be wrong though.

 

[muzeikchun852]

yeah. especially when it comes to tangents and normals.

it really isn't hard to learn, and the method for doing them is helpful (i.e the definition of an ellipse etc)
