E N D
Question 1 - 10 • Identify the four conics.
Answer 1 – 10 • Circle, ellipse, hyperbola, parabola
Question 1 - 20 • Provide a description of how conics are generated and what determines the particular shapes.
Answer 1 – 20 • Conics are formed when a double napped cone is cut by a plane. The angle of the plane determines the type of conic formed.
Question 1 - 30 • Find the distance between the points (2,-4) and (-1,-2)
