The general equation of a non-degenerate conic section is: Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 where A, B and C are all not zero
The above given equation represents a non-degenerate conics whose nature is given below in the table:
|
S.No |
Condition |
Nature of Conic |
|
1 |
B = 0 and A = C |
Circle |
|
2 |
B = 0 and Either A = 0 or C = 0 |
Parabola |
|
3 |
B = 0, A ≠ C and AC > 0 |
Ellipse |
|
4 |
B = 0, A ≠ C and sign of A and C are opposite |
Hyperbola |
CALCULATION:
Given: 9y2 + 16x + 36y - 10 = 0
By comparing the given equation with Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0, we get
⇒ A = 0, B = 0, C = 9, D = 16, E = 36 and F = - 10
Here, we can see that, B = 0 and A = 0
As we know that, if B = 0 and either A = 0 or C = 0 then the non-degenerate equation represents a parabola.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
