About

This series focuses on the fundamental conic sections concepts you need to know in Pre-Calculus. From writing the formula of an ellipse to graphing a hyperbola, we will cover everything in the "Conic Sections" unit of Khan Academy. Then, we will complete the unit test together.

Whether you want to review this important Pre-Calculus topic or want to prepare yourself for your Pre-Calculus class next year, this series will be perfect for you. See you there!
