The FINAL EXAM will be Wednesday, May 22.
We have available here the review problems for the final exam. Each student is required to select one of these problems that you will present to the class. The sign up list is on a Google Sheets document:

The exam will cover the topics of Circles, Parabolas and Lines
Remember that the circle is defined by its CENTER and RADIUS
Remember that the important characteristics of a Parabola are: VERTEX, LINE OF SYMMETRY, X-Intercepts (“Roots”) and Y-Intercept
The Parabola has the two forms
General Form: $latex Ax^{2}+Bx+C=0$
Standard Form $latex A(x-h)^{2}+k=0$
The x-coordinate of the vertex is $latex \frac{-B}{2A}$
To get the y-coordinate of the vertex, put the x-value into $latex Ax^{2}+Bx+C$
and evaluate it.
The circle has the two forms
General Form: $latex Ax^{2}+Ay^{2}+Cx+Dy+C=0$
Standard Form $latex (x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$
The Center is at the point (h,k) and the radius = r.
