Across
- 4. The longest diameter of an ellipse
- 5. In the context of parabolas, this is a line that, for any point on the parabola, the distance from the point to this line is equal to the distance from the focus to that point
- 7. A function whose graph possesses no breaks or jumps
- 10. A point where a conic section intersects with its axis of symmetry
- 12. A conic section comprised of two unbound curves
- 14. In a circle, this is a point equidistant to every point along the circle
- 15. The value that a function of x approaches as x approaches a certain value
- 16. An abrupt change in value along a function
- 18. The process of calculating the derivative of a function
- 19. A line through a point on a function that is perpendicular to the tangent line of that point
- 21. A conic section comprised of a single closed curve
- 24. A type of differentiation that can be applied to bypass the need to explicitly define y as a function of x
- 25. A line passing through two infinitely close points on a function.
Down
- 1. In an ellipse, the sum of the distances from this pair of points to any point along the ellipse is equal
- 2. The shortest diameter of an ellipse
- 3. Defined as the intersection between the surface of a cone and a plane
- 6. A conic section comprised of a single closed curve, where each point on the curve is equidistant to a single point
- 8. An imaginary line that divides the graph of a function into two identical yet mirrored parts
- 9. When evaluated for a point, this gives the slope of the tangent line for that point
- 11. A mathematical expression that assigns every element in a set x to a single element in a set y
- 13. In a hyperbola, these are imaginary lines passing through the center that do not intersect with the hyperbola itself
- 17. One of the most important differentiation rules. It defines the derivative of a composite function.
- 20. A line that intersects two distinct points along a curve
- 22. A conic section comprised of a single unbound curve
- 23. A type of limit evaluated considering x approaching from only the left or only the right
