STUDENT’S NAME: __________________________________________________________________SERIES__________ NO_____
INSTRUCTIONS: Answer all questions . answer section A and B on different sheets of papers
SECTION A
1.
a) If the equation of the parabola is x2 = – 8y, find coordinates of the focus, the equation of the directrix
and length of latus rectum.
b) Given the ellipse with equation 9x2 + 25y2 = 225, find the major and minor axes, eccentricity, foci and
vertices.
c) Find the equation of the ellipse with foci at (5, 0) and x = as one of the directrices.
2. The Cartesian equation of the hyperbola H is . Find
a) The foci and the directrice of H
b) The equation of the tangent at the point P( )
c) The equation of the normal at P
The normal cuts the coordinate axes at A and B, while the tangent cuts at C and D
d) Find the ratio of the area
