Question

Choose the correct conic section to match the equation. 16x 2 - y 2 = 16 parabola hyperbola ellipse circle

Answer 1

The equation 16x² - y² = 16 represents a hyperbola ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of the equation of a conic is

Ax² + Bxy + Cy² + Dx + Ey + F = 0, where A, B, C, D, E, and F

are constants

To find the type of conic that the equation represent find B² - 4AC

1. B² - 4AC < 0 and the conic is exist, then it's ellipse or circle,

   if A = C, (non-zero) then it is a circle, if A ≠ C, then it is an ellipse

2. B² - 4AC = 0 and the conic is exist, then it's a parabola

3. B² - 4AC > 0 and the conic is exist, then it's a hyperbola

∵ The equation is 16x² - y² = 16

- Subtract 16 from both sides

∴ 16x² - y² - 16 = 0

∵ Ax² + Bxy + Cy² + Dx + Ey + F = 0

∴ A = 16 , B = 0 , C = -1 , D = 0 , E = 0 , F = -16

∵ B² - 4AC = (0)² - 4(16)(-1)

∴ B² - 4AC = 64

∵ 64 > 0

∵ B² - 4AC > 0

∴ The conic is hyperbola

The equation 16x² - y² = 16 represents a hyperbola
