Write the equation x^2+8y^2-14x-15=0 in the standard form. State whether the graph of the equation is a parabola, circle, ellipse, or hyperbola. Then graph the equation.
----
Both the x^2 and y^2 are present so it is ellipse or hyperbola
The sign of the coefficients are the same so it is an ellipse.
=====
Complete the square on the x and on the y terms.
x^2 -14x + 49 + 8(y^2) = 15+49
---
Factor:
(x-7)^2 + 8(y-0)^2 = 64
----
Standardize
(x-7)^2/8^2 + (y-0)^2/(sqrt(8))^2 = 1
