Answer the following questions. Be sure to work out and explain all steps on your own paper as you determine the equation, the center, and the type of conic section (a circle, parabola, ellipse or hyperbola) in each of the given equations. 20 points each. 1. x2+y2-6x+10y+24=0

2. 9x2+162+36x-32y-92=0

3. y2-6y-x+16=0

4. x2-y2-2x-4y-4=0

5. x2+y2-8x+2y+13=0

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z score, which of these z scores would you prefer: minus2.00, minus1.00, 0, 1.00, 2.00? why? a. the z score of 2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations above the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. b. the z score of 0 is most preferable because it corresponds to a test score equal to the mean. c. the z score of minus2.00 is most preferable because it is 2.00 standard deviations below the mean and would correspond to the highest of the five different possible test scores. d. the z score of minus1.00 is most preferable because it is 1.00 standard deviation below the mean and would correspond to an above average
