General form of conic equation

What type of conic section is represented if only one variable is squared in the equation?

• Circle

• Ellipse

• Parabola

• Hyperbola

When both variables are squared and the coefficients are the same, what conic section does the equation represent?

• Ellipse

• Circle

• Parabola

• Hyperbola

What is the next step after completing the square for a parabola equation?

• Calculate the asymptotes

• Identify the center

• Find the vertex

• Determine the radius

How do you determine the center of a circle from its equation?

• By finding the midpoint of the diameter

• By using the coefficients of the squared terms

• By completing the square

• By calculating the distance from the origin

What is the relationship between the coefficients of the squared terms in an ellipse equation?

• They are equal

• They are both zero

• They have opposite signs

• They are different but have the same sign
