Question 696337
Write the following in standard form and name the conic section.
1. x^2+6x-3y+15=0
x^2+6x +9 = 3y-15 + 9
(x+3)^2 = 3y-6
3(y-2) = (x+3)^2
y = (1/3)(x^3)^2+2
----
Parabola opening upward from (-3,2)
==========================================

2. x^2+y^2-2x+2y-7=0
(x^2-2x+1) + (y^2+2y+1) = 7 + 1 + 1
(x-1)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 9
Circle with center at (1,-1) and radius = 3
===========================================
and
3. x^2-6x+9+y^2-18y+81=36
x^2-6x+9 + y^2-18y+81 = 36
(x-3)^2 + (y-9)^2 = 36
Circle with center at (3,9) and radius = 6
==============================================
