To convert this equation from its general form to its standard form, I will complete the square for both and .
Given the equation:
Step 1: Normalize coefficients of and
First, divide the entire equation by 3.4 to normalize the term.
Now let's calculate those values.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.
However, I can still explain the next steps for converting your equation into standard form.
Steps to complete:
-
Finish simplifying:
- Calculate , , , and .
-
Complete the square for both and terms:
- Group the terms and complete the square.
- Group the terms and complete the square.
-
Rewrite in standard form:
- After completing the square for both variables, express the equation in the form of an ellipse or hyperbola, depending on the result.
Let me know if you'd like help calculating or understanding any specific part of this!
Questions to consider:
