isn't the point of precalculus to prepare you for university level NAZI calculus? because if it is this assignment is shit

Is there a calculus course offered in high school where you are Z_F? Here we had Calculus and Geometry and Discrete mathematics available at the top level and these courses were required for things like engineering - now G and D is not required and I have heard attempts to remove Calculus form the curriculum which are ridiculous.
its probably a little throw away assignment to teach the fundementals of conic shapes. and to make sure that the students understand the different shapes involved. What would be even better, is if they had to draw a picture using them, on an actual graph, and you had to turn in the equations used. now that would be hardcore.
Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.
G and D was a pretty fun class, pretty much the hardest one available in high school (I liked it more than Calculus by a fair margin). Keep in mind, I did this course in 4/5 years ago so I am not able to remember that well. It was quite varied, we did some geometrical proofs which were kind neat, a lot of probability with P and C (permutations and something else) aha! It was combinatorics - here's more here. It was more a problem solving sorta math course as opposed to monkey work calculus and this was probably why I enjoyed it much more. Lots of proofs I remember - tests of just proofs maybe too. Man, high school was the good old days.
I am pretty sure that's what he needs to do and it is gonna be a pain if he has gotta do that.

All true, however, there's some merit in finding value in what would generally be regarded as mundane. That's the challenge, of course. Quick and easy isn't always good.
With mindful, intentional repetition comes mastery, which leads to breakthroughs and discoveries in the long-term. As I see it, you're not wasting time unless you could be doing something else more meaningful...this of course is defined differently for everyone.
I agree that software makes our tasks infinitely easier, but it also makes it more difficult for us to be aware of why it's necessary at certain times to do something quicker, and taking our time and exploring a bit at other times. Without taking the time to learn the rules at the beginning, it gets harder and harder to differentiate between the two, and we start missing things...

Yeah, I have to do it on graph paper.
The curviest car ev4r(?):
"Kimi, can you improve on your [race] finish?"

but thats just the thing. when you are in university calculus, the shape of the graph is of complete moot point. it is rote memory style algebraic computational. when you get presented with expressions like this
the shape of the conic shape is completely pointless. you use proofs to redefine expressions. nobody knows what the geometric representation of sq[sin x] + sq[cos x] = 1 is with the unit circle. i guess yeah, in the end, it is to make it more young'n friendly. but might as well start them early and make them computational mechanisms IMO.
