Im too dumb for all that. Anyway, I gotta go to sleep now. Thanks for all your help guys and girls! Really appreciate it! Expect me back tomorrow...... lol
Oh ok. Lol want to hear something funny My teacher never put any of this stuff on the test that I just sent a picture of because he said "this stuff is too easy and I don't want everyone making a 100 so I won't put it on the test" Sadly, he was right in that this was easier than everything that he put on the test
Classify the conic section and write its equation in standard form. Then graph the equations X squared 9y squared 8x 4y 7 = 0
When determining the shape you just look at the highest powers. So when you see x^2 and 9y^2 it's an ellipse because the coefficients aren't the same. If it were x^2 and y^2 then that would be a circle. And if there was a subtraction x^2-9y^2 then it would be a hyperbola.
So the 8x and 4y don't affect the name of the shape that it is classified as but it does affect the graph in that it translates the graph and stretches/compresses it
