General Direction: Read carefully and answer the following questions. Write your
answers and solutions (for problems that require them) on the test booklet. Showing your
solutions in a CLEAR and LEGIBLE manner is a must!
I. Process
1. Identify the coordinates of the vertex and focus. Write the equation of the directrix.

6. Write the standard form of the equation for the ellipse shown below.
II. Understanding
7. When the plane does pass through the vertex, the resulting figure is a basic conic
such as circle, parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola. Do you agree with the statement?
Why do you say so?
8. Conic is the intersection of a plane and a double-napped cone. Do you agree with
the statement? Why do you say so?
9. Conic sections were discovered during the Renaissance period. Do you agree this
statement? Why or why not? Justify your answer.

12. In ellipse, let a> b>0 , and c= √ a 2−b2 so a 2=b2 +c 2 . Is this statement correct?
13. Two points on the principal axis are called vertices and the line segment joining
them is called the major axis. Is this statement correct? Why do you say so?
14. The midpoint of the major axis is called the minor axis of the ellipse. Is this
15. Do you agree that the endpoints of the minor axis are called co-vertices? Why do
