Conic Sections Unit Test 2009

This document contains a 20 question multiple choice test on conic sections. The test covers key concepts like the definitions and standard forms of circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas. It also contains short answer questions that require identifying the conic from an equation, finding properties like the center and axes, sketching the shape, and solving systems of conic section equations. The multiple choice questions test understanding of intersections between conics, identifying conics from equations, finding properties of specific conics given in standard form, and understanding definitions of conic section features.
