Which type of conic section is represented by the equation (x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How do i do this my teacher never showed me?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Circle, parabol, hyperbola or ellipse

the coefficients of the square terms are the same (they are both 1) so it is a circle
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How are they both 1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 9\] looks like
\[(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\] where \(h=3,k=-1,r=3\) so it is a circle with center \((3,-1)\) and radius \(3\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
if you multiply out \((x-3)^2\) the coefficient of the \(x^2\) term will be 1
it will be \(x^2-6x+9\)

similar for the \(y\) term
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh okay thx
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But how do i determine other ones
OpenStudy (anonymous):
such as..
x^2/16 + y^2/4 = 1
