STANDARD EQUATIONS OF ALGEBRAIC CONICS

Conics are curved algebraic forms that come from slicing a cone with a plane. Use these equations to graph algebraic conics, such as circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas:

CRAMER’S RULE FOR LINEAR ALGEBRA

Named for Gabriel Cramer, Cramer’s Rule provides a solution for a system of two linear algebraic equations in terms of determinants — the numbers associated with a specific, square matrix.
