Your Input

Identify and find the properties of the conic section 7x22xy22x+7y238y+67=07 x^{2} - 2 x y - 22 x + 7 y^{2} - 38 y + 67 = 0.

Solution

The general equation of a conic section is Ax2+Bxy+Cy2+Dx+Ey+F=0A x^{2} + B x y + C y^{2} + D x + E y + F = 0.

In our case, A=7A = 7, B=2B = -2, C=7C = 7, D=22D = -22, E=38E = -38, F=67F = 67.

The discriminant of the conic section is Δ=4ACFAE2B2F+BDECD2=2304\Delta = 4 A C F - A E^{2} - B^{2} F + B D E - C D^{2} = -2304.

Next, B24AC=192B^{2} - 4 A C = -192.

Since B24AC<0B^{2} - 4 A C \lt 0, the equation represents an ellipse.

To find its properties, use the ellipse calculator.

Answer

7x22xy22x+7y238y+67=07 x^{2} - 2 x y - 22 x + 7 y^{2} - 38 y + 67 = 0A represents an ellipse.

General form: 7x22xy22x+7y238y+67=07 x^{2} - 2 x y - 22 x + 7 y^{2} - 38 y + 67 = 0A.
