Conic Sections #1 - Introduction
This video is a quick recap of information that you should know before studying conic sections. The video covers an example of writing an equation of a parabola in a form that shows the coordinates of the vertex and referencing some transformations. This is done via completing the square. A reminder for doing these steps with a circle is also mentioned. The methods in this video will be used throughout the other conic section videos.
