Module 7: Conic Sections

About This Assessment

This pre-assessment helps us understand what you already know about conic sections before you begin the module. Your answers will not be graded - this is simply a baseline measurement.

Time: 5-10 minutes | Questions: 5 | Purpose: Baseline measurement

What is the center and radius of the circle with equation (x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25?

A. Center: (3, -2), Radius: 5
B. Center: (-3, 2), Radius: 5
C. Center: (3, -2), Radius: 25
D. Center: (-3, 2), Radius: 25

Question 2

Which equation represents a parabola that opens upward with vertex at (0, 0)?

A. x^2 = 4y
B. y^2 = 4x

D. Hyperbola

Question 4

What is the length of the major axis of the ellipse x^2/25 + y^2/9 = 1?

A. 3
B. 5
C. 6
