Answer to Problem 2E

Since D=0 , the given curve represents a parabola.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  3x218xy+27y25x+7y=4

Formula Used:

  B24AC

Calculation:

We have been given the following equation:

  3x218xy+27y25x+7y=4

Comparing with the standard equation for a Quadratic Curve,

  Ax2+Bxy+Cy2+Dx+Ey+F=0

We get:

  A=3, B=18, C=27

Now, discriminant D=B24AC

  =(18)24(3)(27)=0

Since D=0 , the given curve represents a parabola

Conclusion:

Since D=0 , the given curve represents a parabola.
