Geometric Procedures for Graphing the General Quadratic Equation.

DeTemple, Duane W.

College Mathematics Journal, v15 n4 p313-23 Sep 1984

How tedious algebraic manipulations for simplifying general quadratic equations can be supplemented with simple geometric procedures is discussed. These procedures help students determine the type of conic and its axes and allow a graph to be sketched quickly. (MNS)
