Indicate which type of conic what the following problem represents someone please help (x-3)^2/9 + (y-2)^2/4 = 1
This is an ellipse because both the x and y are squared. They are separated by +. And the whole thing =1.
It's in this form: highlight%28%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1%29 therefore, it's an ellipse.
Happy Calculating!!!
