A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Geometrical constructions on conics

Geometrical constructions on conics involve creating the key elements—focus, directrix, axes, and tangents—using only a straightedge and compass. Mastery of these constructions is essential for the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams because they test the ability to translate algebraic descriptions of conics into precise geometric procedures.
