This learning program covers the essential components of the Year 11 Mathematics Specialist Locus and Parameterisation content as outlined in the Australian curriculum. In Year 11 Locus and Parameterisation, we help students gain a conceptual understanding of a locus as the geometrical relationship to an algebraic representation including straight lines, circles, ellipses, hyperbolic and parabolic curves. In addition, we teach students how to solve complex problems involving parametric representation.
This learning program is made up of the following 7 topics, broken down into 23 concepts.
Find the equation of a line that has been geometrically specified
Find the equation of a circle that has been geometrically specified
Find the equation of a ellipse that has been geometrically specified
