For Exercise, an equation of a degenerate conic section is given. Complete the square and describe the graph of each equation.
To determine: The conic section and to find the vertices and foci:
Use the Discriminant Test to determine the type of the conic section (in every case non degenerate equation). Plot the curve if you have a computer algebra system.
Discover which type of conic section the following quadratic form represents and change it to principal axes. Express in terms of the new coordinate vector
We need to verify theorem 5 Focus-Directrix definition:
Decide if the equation defines an ellipse, a hyperbola, a parabola, or no conic section at all.
To find: The equation of the given hyperbola. The foci of the hyperbola is
