Question

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

Answer 1

Someone help me please!

Answer 2

Here's a start: Complete the square for all quadratic terms and factor when possible, the forms should be more obvious after that.

Answer 3

I have a notes on this topic. But it would help if you let me know, about your current level of education

Answer 4

11th grade, Algebra

Answer 5

Ok then hold on..

Answer 6

No, the united states.

Answer 7

I think then it will be tough for you to cope up with it.. Though you will know better.

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

Its not that easy!
You need to transformation

Answer 10

do you know that?

Answer 11

like reflection, translation, rotation and all that?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

translation, rotation

Answer 14

But how is using transformation helping me to solve the problem?
