Algebra 2: Conics Review Please use this review to prepare for your test. Your test is either on Tuesday, 5/20 or Wednesday, 5/21. You also have: -
iTutoring Lessons and your NOTES: o Algebra 2, Chapter 12, Lessons 1-13 Khan Academy o Conic Sections o USE THE HINTS and VIDEOS to help you solve CONICS(especially the asymptotes of hyperbolas).
You can also use your TEXTBOOK to study: -
Chapter 10 PAGES 718-787 Pay attention to examples and see if you can work some of the exercises and check your answers using the back of the book. Study some of the word problems too. HINT. HINT.
Study the following topics: -
-
-
-
-
-
STUDY WORD PROBLEMS, EXAMPLES and PROBLEMS AFTER THE EXAMPLES and DEFINITIONS. Know how to IDENTIFY/RECOGNIZE CONICS by their graph and equations(both standard and non-standard) Pgs 722 – 725 o Study Examples 1 – 3 o Know the following: midpoint and distance formulas o SUGGESTED PRACTICE: pgs 726 – 728: ODD PROBLEMS. Answers on back of textbook. Pgs 729 – 731 o Know the following definitions: circle, standard equation, tangent o Study Examples 1 – 4 o SUGGESTED PRACTICE: pgs 732 – 734: ODD PROBLEMS. Answers on back of textbook. Pgs 736 – 739 o Know the following definitions: ellipses, foci, major and minor axis, vertices of ellipses, co-vertices of ellipses, Standard Form for the Equation of an Ellipse(@ (0,0) and @(h,k)) o Study Examples 1 – 4 o SUGGESTED PRACTICE: pgs 740 – 742: ODD PROBLEMS. Answers on back of textbook. Pgs 744 – 747 o Know the following definitions: hyperbola, foci, branches, transverse axis, vertices of a hyperbola, conjugate axis, co-vertices of hyperbola, Standard Form for the Equation of an Hyperbola(@ (0,0) and @(h,k)), Transformations o SUGGESTED PRACTICE: pgs 748 – 750: ODD PROBLEMS. Answers on back of textbook. Pgs 751 – 754 o Know the following definitions: parabola, focus, directrix, axis of symmetry, Standard Form for the Equation of an Parabola(@ (0,0) and @(h,k)) o SUGGESTED PRACTICE: pgs 755 – 757: ODD PROBLEMS.

o SUGGESTED PRACTICE: pgs 764 – 766: ODD PROBLEMS. Answers on back of textbook. Pg 768 – 771 o Know the following definitions: Nonlinear system of equations(see diagram) o SUGGESTED PRACTICE: pgs 772 – 775: ODD PROBLEMS. Answers on back of textbook. o WORK/STUDY: pg 777 Pg 778 – 782 o Know the following definitions: VOCABULARY, o STUDY EXAMPLES IN THE CHAPTER REVIEW. o SUGGESTED PRACTICE: pgs 548 – 551: ODD PROBLEMS. Answers on back of textbook. HINTS for the TEST: o Pay close attention to HOW TO FIND STANDARD EQUATIONS, PARTS OF THE CONICS(focus, directrix, foci, major/minor axis, asymptotes, etc.) o You may want to try working out WORD PROBLEMS on the EXERCISES pages after each section. You will see similar questions on your test. o Test will have anywhere from 15 to 25 items. Some graphing, basic concepts and word problems. o Practice organizing how you write your solutions. I need to see ORGANIZED and LEGIBLE solutions. o Be ready to see some throwback questions: EXPONENTIALS/LOGS, domain and range, etc. STUDY and BE PREPARED. Don’t wait until the last minute to study.
