What are the four types of conic sections?
What is the standard equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r?
What is an ellipse?
Hint: It looks like a stretched circle
What is the standard equation of an ellipse centered at the origin?
What is a hyperbola?
What geometric shape is formed when a plane cuts a cone parallel to its base?
What conic section is formed when a plane cuts a cone parallel to its slant edge?
What is the eccentricity of a circle?
Hint: A circle is a perfectly 'round' ellipse
What is the vertex form of a parabola that opens up or down?
Hint: The vertex coordinates appear right inside the parentheses
What is the standard equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin, opening left and right?
Hint: The minus sign is what separates a hyperbola from an ellipse
What are the asymptotes of the hyperbola x²/a² - y²/b² = 1?
What does the directrix of a parabola do?
Hint: Think of it as the focus's mirror-image partner, a line instead of a point
