Question:
Determine the form of the conic section described by the equation \( x^2 + y^2 + 2xy - 8x + 8y = 0 \)
Determine the form of the conic section described by the equation \( x^2 + y^2 + 2xy - 8x + 8y = 0 \)
Show Hint
When the \( xy \)-term is present in a second-degree equation, the conic section is typically a hyperbola or a parabola, depending on the other terms.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The given equation is of the form:
\[
x^2 + y^2 + 2xy - 8x + 8y = 0
\]
This is a second-degree equation in two variables. The presence of the \( xy \) term indicates that it is a parabola. Thus, the correct answer is Parabola.
