Question

Classify the conic section and write its equation in standard form

Answer 1

\[-x^2+10x+y-21=0\]

Answer 2

If you solve for y, what do you get?

Answer 3

y = x^2-10x+21

Answer 4

Yep. Since x^2 is the highest degree monomial, what kind of graph would it make?

Answer 5

Well, I'm doing parabolas and ellipses...

Answer 6

Oh, I understand. It's a parabola, isn't it?

Answer 7

Yep.

Answer 8

For standard form, Idr what the standard form of a quadratic equation is.

Answer 9

What about if it's something like this
\[x^2-y^2-2x-8=0\]

Answer 10

Internet says that is standard form. Sweet.

Answer 11

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one.

Answer 12

@nincompoop , do you know how to solve these?
