Question 450840: what shape is given by the equation 2x^2+y^2-5=0

2nd degree equation, so it is a conic.
Contains both x-squared and y-squared terms, so NOT a parabola
Signs on the x-squared and y-squared terms are the same, so NOT a hyperbola
Coefficients on the x-squared and y-squared terms are different, so NOT a circle
Only thing left is an ellipse.
