Please help! classify this conic equations: 1) \[x ^{2}+y ^{2}+2x+2y+1=0\] 2) \[2x ^{2}+2y ^{2}-4x+4y+19=0\] 3) \[x ^{2}+4y ^{2}=100\] 4) \[8x ^{2}-3y ^{2}=120\] 5) \[y= ^{2}-2x+3\]
do you know the standard forms of al the conic sections?
do you know what a conic section is?
not really, im starting this topic
ok, so first take a look here to familiarise yourself. you should then be able to answer this question yourself. if not, then post here which part you don't understand and I'll be more than glad to help. see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section
thanks!
np
there is table of equations under the "Features" section - look there.
Some super-duper notes. http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/Alg/Circles.aspx http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/Alg/Ellipses.aspx http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/Alg/Parabolas.aspx http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/Alg/Hyperbolas.aspx http://www.purplemath.com/modules/conics.htm Why are they called "conic sections"? Cuz they're slices of a cone. :) (see attached)
