Decide if the equation defines an ellipse, a hyperbola, a parabola, or no conic section at all.
Standard equation of ellipse:
Standard equation of a parabola:
Standard equation of a Hyperbola:
a)
Divide by coefficient of square terms : 4
Divide by coefficient of square terms : 9
Divide by
So, this is the form of hyperbola
Thus, the equation defines a hyperbola.
b)
So, this is the form of parabola
Thus, the equation defines a parabola.
c)
Divide by coefficient of square terms : 9
Divide by coefficient of square terms : 4
Divide by
This is the form of ellipse
Thus, the equation defines an ellipse.
d)
The above equation is not an ellipse, parabola and a hyperbola.
Hence, the equation is not a conic section.
