4x^2-4xy+y^2-6=0,whether it's any conic(circle,ellipse,parabola or hyperbola) or not?explain a bit???
hi sirm
If x² and y² both have the same coefficients like x² + y² or 3x² + 3y², then it is a circle. If x² and y² both have different coefficients that have the same sign, like 4x² + 9y², or x² + 16y², then it is an ellipse. If x² and y² have different signs, like 25x² - 9y², or 16y² - x², then it is a hyperbola. If the equation has either x² and y², but not both, then it is a parabola. i'm not getting yet(:
the general form of a conic section is \[\large Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2+Dx+Ey+F=0\] the discriminant \[\large B^2-4AC\] can identify the conic section according to this rule: parabola (or denegerate) when \[B^2-4AC=0\] ellipse (or degenerate) when \[B^2-4AC<0\] and hyperbola (or degenerate) when \[B^2-4AC > 0\]
i have to find diccrimant frist to know whether this is conic or not?
yes.
okay but the equation i wrote i think it's not conicor it is?
can you identify A, B and C in the equation above?
sure
A=4,B=-4 and C=1
what is the value of the discriminant \[B^2 - 4AC\] is it positive (hyperbola), negative(ellipse), or zero (parabola)?
it's zero is it?
parabola that is
thank u so much
one question more?\[Y ^{2=4\sqrt{2}}X\]
how we find discrimant of this type of equation?
?
is this the equation? \[\large y^2=4\sqrt{2}x\]
no actually the question is\[x^{2}-2xy+y ^{2}-8x-8y=0\]
''by a rotation of axes,eliminate the xyterm and identify the conic and find its elements?
i have notes in which this question is solved and there is wriiten like this\[Y ^{2}=4\sqrt{2}\]
which represent parabola
so it is a parabola with line of symmetry the Y-axis
how we come to know it is parabola?
without discriminant how u know?
the discriminant should be applied when there is an Bxy term, otherwise use the forms of the conic sections parabola: 4a(y-h)=(x-h)^2 or 4a(x-h)=(y-k)^2 ellipse: (x-h)^2/a^2 + (y-k)^2/b^2 = 1 hyperbola: (x-h)^2/a^2 - (y-k)^2/b^2 = 1
in standard form (unrotated axis), a parabola has only one squared variable. in an ellipse or hyperbola, both variables are squared. it is an ellipse if the coefficients of x^2 and y^2 have the same sign, hyperbola if they have opposite signs (assuming that both terms are on the same side of the equation of the conic).
yeah
thanks again
