1.) Have students set up a polynomial equation of a set of points. Where the distance from a fixed point (F,O) is e times its distance from the vertical line x = -f where e stands for a constant. Have students show the graph is an ellipse if 0 < e < 1, a parabola if e = 1, and a hyperbola if e > 1.  

1.) Have students solve various quadratic equations to prove what type of conic sections it is. Have students determine the eccentricity for a circle and determine its directrix.
