Estudo sistemático das parábolas

Abstract

This work presents one proposal that allows High School teachers and students a historical study of the construction of Conics, developed by Apollonius of Perga, the Mathematician and Astronomer that contributed immensely with the definitions we study nowadays in Mathematics. In a second moment, with Conics well defined by Pierre Fermat, the goal of the work is to address the content of Analytical Geometry as taught in the initial school years and Calculus courses. In a third moment, the approach is done through the study of Quadratic Functions, using a review of the content taught in Sophomore year of High School.
