    a. After completing the exercises, use this checklist to evaluate your mastery of the objectives of this section.

    This table has four columns and four rows. The first row is a header and it labels each column, “I can…”, “Confidently,” “With some help,” and “No-I don’t get it!” In row 2, the I can was graph a hyperbola with center at (0, 0). In row 3, the I can was graph a hyperbola with a center at (h, k). In row 4, the I can was identify conic sections by their equations.
