What is the general equation of a circle?
Back
The general equation of a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.

What is the standard form of an ellipse?
Back
The standard form of an ellipse is (x - h)²/a² + (y - k)²/b² = 1, where (h, k) is the center, a is the semi-major axis, and b is the semi-minor axis.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the standard form of a hyperbola?
Back
The standard form of a hyperbola is (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1 or (y - k)²/b² - (x - h)²/a² = 1, where (h, k) is the center.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the definition of a parabola?
Back
A parabola is a conic section that is formed by the intersection of a cone and a plane parallel to its side. It can be represented by the equation y = ax² + bx + c.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the vertex of a parabola given its equation in standard form?
Back
For the equation y = ax² + bx + c, the vertex can be found using the formula x = -b/(2a) and then substituting x back into the equation to find y.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are the foci of an ellipse?
Back
