Classify the conic section and write its equation in standard form. 1.) y^2 - 8y - 8x = -24 2.) x^2 + y^2- 4x + 2y - 11 = 0 3). 4x^2 + y^2 - 8x - 8 = 0 4) 4x^2 - 25y^2 - 100y = 0
Someone help me please!
Here's a start: Complete the square for all quadratic terms and factor when possible, the forms should be more obvious after that.
I have a notes on this topic. But it would help if you let me know, about your current level of education
11th grade, Algebra
Ok then hold on..
No, the united states.
I think then it will be tough for you to cope up with it.. Though you will know better.
So, basically to classify the conic section I just find the coefficients and plug it in to the discriminant equation then determine what kind of conic section it is, such as: ellipse, circle, parabola, or hyperbola.
Its not that easy! You need to transformation
do you know that?
like reflection, translation, rotation and all that?
yes
translation, rotation
But how is using transformation helping me to solve the problem?
