YOUTUBE GAME SHOW LINKS: The Price is Right / Plinko winner (the Plinko board is in the second half): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuMir11YFPs. What does this have to do with Pascal’s triangle?

ANIMATION ON CONICS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO2zAU3Eppo ; Corrections: (0:48-1:07) The double-nappe cone (or simply cone here should not be thought of as finite, so there are no bases and there is no base perimeter. The term directrix is used elsewhere, especially when describing parabolas.

Th (5/28; Day 32): FINAL, HW DUE (YOU MAY WANT TO PHOTOCOPY IT IF YOU WON'T SEE ME LATER), BRING A SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR (WE MAY RUN OUT!).
