Department of Mathematics Howard University Math-010 College Algebra II Exam 5 11/22/13

Due date and time: 11/27 at 12:00pm Each problem is worth 20 pts. Put all of your work on separate sheets of paper in a clear and concise manner. Pr. #1) Find the vertices and foci of the ellipse. Graph the equation. 4x2 + y 2 = 9 Pr. #2) Graph the system of inequalities. Label all of the intersection points (Show your work on how you got the pts.) and tell whether the graph is bounded or unbounded. xy y 4 x2 + 1

Pr. #3) Find the vertex, focus, and directrix of the parabola. Graph the equation. y 2 + 3y = x 2

Pr. #4) Show that an equation of the form Ax2 + Cy 2 + F = 0; A 6= 0; C 6= 0; F 6= 0

where A and C are of the same sign and F is of opposite sign, (a) Is the equation of an ellipse with center (0; 0) if A 6= C: (b) Is the equation of a circle with center (0; 0) if A = C: Pr. #5) Consult the gure. A racetrack is in a shape of an ellipse, 100 feet long and 50 feet wide. What is the width 10 feet from a vertex?

Extra Credit Problem: Show that the graph of an equation of the form Ax2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0; A 6= 0

(a) Is a parabola if E 6= 0 (b) Is a vertical line if E = 0 and D2 4AF = 0 (c) Is two vertical lines if E = 0 and D2 4AF > 0 (d) Contains no point if E = 0 and D2 4AF < 0
