Closed Captioned Video: Algebra Applications: Functions and Relations, 4

Topic

Functions and Relations

Description

This segment describes the elliptical paths of Earth and Mars around the sun and how the Orion capsule follows a transfer ellipse to reach Mars. Key concepts include ellipses as conic sections, their equations, eccentricity, and quadratic relations. Applications involve modeling planetary orbits and calculating orbital equations using data like eccentricity and semi-major axis values. The segment also explores graphing ellipses with tools like the TI-Nspire.

This video offers a deep dive into the topic of Functions and Relations. It provides a historical and conceptual context to better understand the underlying mathematical principles.

Teacher’s Script: Let’s explore how this video connects to our study of Functions and Relations. As you watch, notice how the video uses real-world examples to explain the concept. Be prepared to discuss these examples afterward.
