Ellipse
This is the equation of an ellipse: (x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1. Adjust the sliders to see how these factors influence the ellipse. 1. What happens when h gets larger? Smaller? 2. What happens when k gets larger? Smaller? 3. What happens when a gets larger? Smaller? 4. What happens when b gets larger? Smaller? 5. Can you form a circle? How? 6. What has to happen to form an oval? How can you make this oval "stand up"? How can you make it "lay down"?
