10 Mid-Chapter Quiz

Do you know HOW?

Describe the graph and identify the domain and range for each equation.

  1. y squared , minus , 2 x squared , equals 16
  2. 3 x squared , plus 3 , y squared , minus 12 equals 0
  3. 9 x squared , minus , 25 y squared , equals 225
  4. 36 minus , 4 x squared , minus , 9 y squared , equals 0

Identify the vertex, focus, and directrix of each parabola. Then graph the parabola.

  1. y equals , 3 x squared
  2. x equals 4 . open y plus 2 close squared
  3. y plus 1 equals . open x minus 3 close squared

Write an equation for the parabola with the given vertex and focus.

  1. vertex ( negative 5 comma 4 close semicolon  focus ( negative 5 comma 0 close
  2. vertex (7, 2); focus open 7 comma negative 2 close
  3. vertex (0, 0); focus ( negative 7 comma 0 close
  4. vertex (2, 4); focus (1, 4)
  5. Write an equation that models the graph below.

    A circle centered at (negative 1, 3) and passes through (negative 6, 3), (negative 1, 8), (4, 3), and (negative 1, negative 1). All values are approximate.

Write an equation in standard form of the circle with the given center and radius.

  1. center ( negative 6 comma 3 close comma  radius 8
  2. center (1, 1), radius 1.5

Do you UNDERSTAND?

    1. ( negative 6 comma 0 close
    2. open . negative 2 comma negative square root of 3 . close
    3. open , 0 comma square root of 2 , close
  2. 4 x squared , minus , y squared , minus 4 equals 0
    1. ( negative 1 comma 0 close
    2. (2, 2)
    3. (1, 0)
  3. The table below represents points on the graph of a conic section. Identify the conic section.

    X negative 12 negative 8 0 12
    Y 0 plus minus 12 plus minus 16 0
  4. Writing Suppose that x squared , equals 4 p y  and y equals , eh x squared  represent the same parabola. Explain how a and p are related.

Reasoning Without graphing, describe how each graph differs from the graph of y equals , x squared , .

  1. y equals , 2 x squared
  2. y equals , negative , x squared
  3. y equals , x squared , plus 2
  4. y equals , 1 third , x squared
  5. A circle has center (0, 0) and radius 1. Write an equation that represents the translation of the circle 7 units left and 8 units up. Then graph the equation.

Write the standard form of the equation of the circle that passes through the given point and whose center is at the origin.

  1. open negative 6 comma 0 close
  2. (0, 5)
  3. open negative 11 comma negative 11 close
  4. open negative 8 comma 14 close
