Question 705677: Please help me to find out the asymptotes of {(x^2)+(y^2)+2xy-(x(y^2))}.
I tried and my answer is x=0, y=0, y=2.But answer on the book is just x=0.
so please help me in this regard.I will be very grateful to you.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The (x(y^2)) at the end is a term with a degree of 3. Conic sections only have terms of degree 2 (and possibly less than 2). So the equation you posted is not a conic section.

You'll have to correct the equation and re-post your question.
