Help with Changing Equations of Conics from Standard to Vertex Form

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

x2 − 6x + 2y + 9 = 0

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

welp you can move 9 to the other side \[x^2-6x+2y=-9\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[ (x^2 − 6x) + 2y = -9\] yes you can now complete the square method (x^2-6x)

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Would you divide by 9?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

or -9 i mean?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

so we can get =1

Nnesha (nnesha):

nope btw that's a important part is it hyperbola circle ellipse or parabola ?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

AC=2 so 2>0 so ellipses?

Nnesha (nnesha):

nope for ellipse hyperbola and circle y and x should have square x^2 and y^2 it's parabola bec only x is raising to the 2nd power

Nnesha (nnesha):

so doesn't matter what number should be at right side :-)

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

oh because we are missing Bxy and Ey?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

oh wait no we are missing cy^2

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

not Ey S:

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

That would make sense because parabolas have (x-h)^2 and (y-k)

Nnesha (nnesha):

o_0ohh alright

Nnesha (nnesha):

x2 − 6x +Cy^2 + 2y + 9 = 0 like this ?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

I am confused lool

Nnesha (nnesha):

me too what's ur original question ?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

I was just thinking out loud it seems. I was saaying that is why it is a parabola

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

because we were missing those parts

Nnesha (nnesha):

LOL

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right bec parabola equation in standard from (x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k) as u can see y isn't not squared

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

so that means we need to subtract y to the other side

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

\[(x^2-6x)=4a(-2y-9)\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

not yet first we have to apply complete the square method

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1431800741793:dw| compete the square divide b/2
