Exploring the sample ellipse
1. Drag the ellipse from its center to explore the effect of translation on the
equation.
2. Use the analysis tools, such as AnalyzeGraph > AnalyzeConics>Foci to
further explore the graph.
Note: The type of conic determines which analysis tools you can use. In
the case of the ellipse, you can obtain its center, vertices, foci, axes of
symmetry, directrices, eccentricity, and latera recta.
