Question

WILL MEDAL
the equation below represents which type of conic section? (x-2)^2/3+(y+2)/4=1
a) parabola
b) ellipse
c) hyperbola
d) circle

Answer 1

\[\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1\] is an ellipse

Answer 2

oh is the y NOT squared?

Answer 3

is it \[\frac{(x-2)^2}{3}+\frac{(y+2)^2}{4}=1\] or
is it \[\frac{(x-2)^2}{3}+\frac{y+2}{4}=1\]

Answer 4

THE SECOND ONE @satellite73

Answer 5

oh then it is a trick question
this is a parabola disguised as an ellipse
if that term is not squared it is a parabola
