Why are Conic Sections given this name?

• They are the cross-sections given when a cone is sliced.

• Because it's part of 'da rules'

• They are the cross-sections given when any 3D image is sliced.

Which of the following are true?

• A parabola has 2 foci.

• A circle's diameter is equal to it's radius squared

• A hyperbola uses a²+b²=c²

• An ellipse uses a²+b²=c²

• The distance from the center to a vertex along the transverse axis is 'a' in a hyperbola

Write an equation for the hyperbola with the given characteristics: foci (8, 0) (8, 8); vertices (8, 2) (8, 6)
