Graphing Hyperbolas in Standard Form
I introduce the basic structure of hyperbolas discussing how to locate the vertices, foci, transverse axis, conjugate axis, asymptotes, etc. I finish by working through multiple examples.

Binomial Theorem Introduction to Raise Binomials to High Powers
I explain how Pascal's Triangle and the Binomial Theorem help you to quickly expand binomials raised to relatively high powers. My last example is using the Binomial Theorem to find a specific term within an expansion.
