what' the operation between the x^2 and 3y^2 terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiplication i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can't be multiplication. otherwise, it wouldn't be any of those conic sections.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Nope. Not multiplication.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's an ellipse. You asked this question before.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the problem is how it is in my book

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There's probably an addition sign in between. Maybe it's a typo in the book. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=x%5E2%20%2B%203y%5E2%20%2B%206x%20%20%2B%202y%20-%205%20%3D%200&t=crmtb01
