Question 135206:  Identify the conic section, write each in standard form, and graph: 
4x^2-9y^2+y+3=0

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Identify the conic section, write each in standard form, and graph: 
4x^2-9y^2+y+3=0 
Complete the square on the x-terms and on the y-terms:
 
4(x^2) -9(y^2-(1/9)y = -3 
4(x^2) -9(y^2-(1/9)y+(1/18)^2) = -3-9*(1/18)^2 
4(x^2) -9(y-(1/18))^2 = -109/36 
Divide both sides by -109/36 to get:
 
 -(x-0)^2]/(109/144) +(y-(1/18))^2/(109/324) = 1 
------------------ 
It's a hyperbola. 
Can't be graphed on this site as it is not a function.
