Question

108(y^2)-(81x)=0

Answer 1

what can be done to such and equation

Answer 2

Is it a parabola, elipse, or a hyperbola

Answer 3

\[108y^2-81x=0\]
\[108y^2=81x\]
\[\frac{180}{81}y^2=x\]

Answer 4

well a parabola has one first order variable and one second order one,
ie a y and a x^2
or (and as in this case) x and y^2

Answer 5

an ellipsis (or a circle) would have two variables of second order ;
ie x^2 and a y^2

Answer 6

a hyperbola would have a first order and a minus-first order term of the other variable
or a second order variable and the negative of a second order variable ...

Answer 7

OHHH ok I get it

Answer 8

do you see how by y being the second order variable in this case that the parabola would be on its side

Answer 9

yes thank you
