Solution: In Exercises 40 through 43, consider the problem offitting a conic through m
Chapter 3, Problem 43(choose chapter or problem)
In Exercises 40 through 43, consider the problem offitting a conic through m given points y i),. .. , Pm(xw, ym) in the plane; see Exercises 51 through 60 in Section 1.2. Recall that a conic is a curve in R2 that can be described by an equation of the form /(* , y) = ci + C2X + c$y + c4x2 + csxy + c6y2 = 0.How many conics can you fit through 6 distinct points Pi(*i. yj)......../>6(*6-.V6)? Describe all possible scenarios, and give an example in each case.
