( all answers are in lower cases with no space)
Identify the type of conic section whose equation is given
a) x2 = y + 1
b) x2 = y2 + 1
c) x2  = 4y - 2y2
Write the directrix equation of the parabolas below ( write
in equation form i.e. x =7 or y=-1 no space)
a) x2 = - 8y
b)
(all answers are in lower case, no space)
x = -0.25y2
Which one is the equation of the graph below?
C
A
B
D
If the vertex is at (1,2) and focus (2,0) then find the
 equation of the parabola.
y2 -8x + 4y + 12 = 0
y2 - 8x - 4y - 12 =0 
y2 - 8x - 4y +12 = 0
y2 + 8x + 4y + 12 = 0
The foci of the ellipse
coincide ( the same).
and the hyperbola
What is the value of b2?

The center of the circle

 4x² + 4y² – 8x + 12y – 25 = 0 is?

 write in coordinate form with parentheses, 
for example, (1,2)

In an ellipse, the distance between its

 foci is 6 and its minor axis is 8 then

 its eccentricity is

The equation of parabola whose focus is (3, 0) and directrix

 is 3x + 4y = 1 is

16x² + 9y² – 24xy – 144x + 8y + 224 = 0
16x² + 9y² – 24xy – 144x + 8y - 224 = 0
16x² – 9y² – 24xy – 144x + 8y + 224 = 0
16x² + 9y² – 24xy – 144x + 8y + 224 = 0
The eccentricity of the hyperbola  9x2 - 16y2 = 144 is
The focus of the parabola x2 - 8x + 2y + 7 = 0  is
 write in coordinate form with parentheses, for example(1,2)
x -intercepts
Given the following equation 9x2 + 4y2 = 36
 Find the x intercepts of the graph of the equation.
From left to right, write in coordinate form 
with parentheses
