Question 3

A __ is the set of all points in the plane equidistant from a fixed-point “F” and a fixed line “|” containing F

Answer 3

parabola

Question 4

The fixed point is called the ___, while the fixed line is the directrix.

Answer 4

focus

Question 5

The __ divides the parabola into two parts.

Answer 5

axis of symmetry

Question 6

The __\ of the parabola is a point on that lies on the axis of symmetry.

Answer 6

Vertex

Question 7

The distance from the vertex to the focus (or directrix) is called the __ (a).

Answer 7

focal distance

Question 8

The __ is a segment containing the focus, with endpoints on the parabola and perpendicular to the axis of symmetry.

Answer 8

latus rectum

Question 9

An __ is determined by a constant and two fixed points, each called a focus point.

Answer 9

ellipse

Question 10
