- 2. - In the context of conic sections, it is a fixed line used to define the shape of a conic section. It plays a key role in determining the geometry of parabolas.
- 4. - It is the midpoint of the major and minor axis for an ellipse. It is also the midpoint of the transverse and conjugate axis for a hyperbola.
- 11. - It is the line that will divide a parabola into two equal halves which are mirror images of each other.
- 13. - It is the point where the x axis and y axis crosses.
- 14. - In mathematics, the __________ is an assignment of values to the unknown variables that makes the equality in the equation true.
- 15. - It is is a flat two-dimensional surface that extends indefinitely.
- 17. - It is a geometric shape defined as the set of all points that are equidistant from a central point (the center). It is a closed curve with all points on its boundary at the same distance from the center.
- 20. - It is the difference between the highest values and lowest values in a given set of numbers.
- 21. - It can be defined by how much a Conic section (a Circle, Ellipse, Parabola or Hyperbola) actually varies from being circular.
- 24. - In mathematics, a _________ is a statement that has been proved, or can be proved.

- 1. - These are pair of numbers (in two-dimensions) that specified signed distances from the origin of a cartesian coordinate system.
- 3. - These occur when the plane intersects the vertex of the cone.
- 5. - It is another type of conic section that is defined as the set of all points where the difference in distances to two fixed points (the foci) is constant. It has two branches that open away from each other.
- 6. - In math, a _______ is represented by a dot (.) and is used to tell exact location in space.
- 7. - In mathematics, the ________ of a function is the set of inputs accepted by the function
- 8. - It is a mathematical relationship or rule expressed in symbols.
- 9. - It is a type of conic section that is U-shaped and is defined as the set of all points that are equidistant to a fixed point (the focus) and a fixed line (the directrix).
- 10. - In mathematics, it is an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable).
- 12. - It is a point along the axis of symmetry, inside the parabola, that is equal in distance from the vertex as is the directrix.
- 16. - It is a mathematical formula that expresses the equality of two expressions.
- 18. - This is the point of intersection of the parabola and the axis of symmetry.
- 19. - The ______ of an ellipse are two fixed, interior points. They lie on the major axis and are on either side of the center, both at a distance of c.
- 22. - It is a type of conic section that is shaped like an elongated circle. It is defined as the set of all points where the sum of the distances to two fixed points (the foci) is constant.
- 23. - A _______ is a one-dimensional figure, which has length but no width.
