Step 1
Consider the provided equation:
4x28xy+4y23x+6=0
Step 2
Now, compare this equation with the general form of conic section:
Ax2+Bxy+Cy2+Dx+Ey+F=0
Step 3
Now, it is known that:
If B24AC<0, then it will be either circle or an ellipse.
If B24AC=0, then it will be a parabola.
If B24AC>0, then it will be a hyperbola.
Now, here we have, A=4,B=8andC=4
So, B24AC=(8)24(4)(4)=6464=0
Since, B24AC=0
Hence, the provided equation represents a parabola if a conic section exists.
