Question:
In Example 1, change the − before the 2y2 to + and then determine what type of curve is represented.
Data from Example 1
The equation 2x2 = 3 − 2y2 represents a circle. This can be seen by putting the equation in the form of Eq. (21.34). This form is
We see that A = C. Also, since there is no xy-term, we know that B = 0. This means that the equation represents a circle. If we write it as x2 + y2 = 3/2, we see that it fits the form of Eq. (21.12). The circle is shown in Fig. 21.91.
