Question
In Exercises 924, (a) identify the type of conic from the discriminant, (b) transform the equation in x and y into an equation in X and Y (without an XY-term) by rotating the x- and y-axes by an angle to arrive at the new X- and Y-axes, and (c) graph the resulting equation (showing both sets of axes).
Solution
The first step in solving 11.7 problem number 9 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Exercises 924, (a) identify the type of conic from the discriminant, (b) transform the equation in x and y into an equation in X and Y (without an XY-term) by rotating the x- and y-axes by an angle to arrive at the new X- and Y-axes, and (c) graph the resulting equation (showing both sets of axes).
From the textbook chapter Rotation of Axes you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
