What is the standard equation of a (𝑥𝑥 − ℎ)2 + (𝑦𝑦 − 𝑘𝑘)2 = 𝑟𝑟 2 is the standard
circles? How about the general equation of the circle
equation? 𝑥𝑥 2 + 𝑦𝑦 2 + 𝐷𝐷𝐷𝐷 + 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 + 𝐹𝐹 = 0 is the general
equation of the circle
What is the definition of a parabola? Parabola is the set of all points whose distance
from a fixed point, called the focus, is equal to
the distance from a fixed line, called
the directrix. The point halfway between the
focus and the directrix is called the vertex of the
parabola.
What is the definition of an ellipse? Ellipse is a set of points, which moves so that the
sum of its distance to the fixed points, called

Note: You will be graded using the scoring rubrics on problem solving + communication as
stipulated in Module 6. Timeliness is added to the rubrics using this breakdown:
♦ 5 – submitted before or on the due
♦ 4 – submitted 1-2 minutes late
♦ 3 – submitted 3-4 minutes late
♦ 2 – submitted beyond 5 minutes late
Final score will be multiplied to 10. Highest possible score is 150.
B. The circumscribed circle of a triangle is the circle containing the three vertices of the
triangle. Given the three vertices, explain how you can determine the center and radius of
the circumscribed circle.
C. Use your explanation in PART I-B to find the center and radius of the circumscribed circle
of the triangle having vertices at (−3,2), (4, −1), and (5,2).
B. I noticed that depending on the values for 𝐴𝐴 and 𝐵𝐵, assuming that they are both not zero, the
graph of 𝐴𝐴𝑥𝑥 2 + 𝐵𝐵𝑦𝑦 2 = 𝐶𝐶 can represent any of the conic sections other than a parabola. Does
this statement make sense or not? Explain your reasoning.
C. The endpoints of the latus rectum of a parabola are (5, 𝑘𝑘) and (−5, 𝑘𝑘). If the vertex of the
parabola is at the origin and the parabola open downward, find: (a) the value of 𝑘𝑘; (b) an
equation of the parabola.
B. In a whispering gallery at our science museum, I stood at one focus, my friend stood at the
other focus, and we had a clear conversation, very little of which was heard by the 25
museum visitors standing between us. Does this statement make sense or not? Explain your
reasoning.
C. Find the standard form of the equation of an ellipse with vertices at (0, −6) and (0, 6),
passing through (2, −4). Show the illustration with labeled points.
B. I graphed a hyperbola centered at the origin that had 𝑦𝑦 −intercepts, but no 𝑥𝑥 −intercepts.
Does this statement make sense? Explain your reasoning.
C. Isolate the terms involving on the left side of the equation: y 2 + 2y + 12x − 23 = 0. Then
write the equation in an equivalent form by completing the square on the left side.
