6. The eccentricity e tells you which of the following things about a conic section in polar coordinates?

A. Which type of conic section it is

B. Its orientation with respect to the pole

C. Whether it can be parameterized

D. How far its focus is from its directrix

A.

B.

C.

D.

 

8. If the conic section Ax

A. A circle

B. A hyperbola

C. A parabola

D. An ellipse

 

9. What is the equation for the directrix of the parabola y

A. x = -5

B. x = 5

C. y = -5

D. y = 5x

 

10. Where are the foci for the ellipse ?

11. When is it possible to eliminate the parameter from a set of parametric equations?

A. Only when one equation is linear

B. Always

C. When you can isolate the parameter in one equation

D. When you have the original non-parametric form given

 

12. Translate the ellipse  to be centered at (3, -1).

 

13. What kind of conic section is -6x

A. Circle

B. Parabola

C. Ellipse

D. Hyperbola

 

14. To determine which is the major axis of , which of these should you do?

A. Plug in 0 for x to find the y intercepts; these will be the vertices of the major axis.

B. Translate the ellipse to the origin using (-a,-b).

C. Find c using the relationship c

to determine the locations of the foci.

D. Compare a to b, and the larger goes with the major axis.

B. The set of points equidistant from two asymptotes that cross at the origin

C. The graph of y = x

End of exam
