How to identify quadratic equations:
ax² + bx + cy² + dy + e= 0
If there is an equation like 4x2 + 4y2 = 36 then it is a circle because a=c. The a is 4 and the c is 4
If there is an equation like 2x2 + 4y = 3 then it is a parabola because a or c equals 0
If there is an equation like 4x2 - 4y2 = 12 then it is a hyperbola because a and c have different signs.
If there is an equation like 4x2 + 3y2 = 25 then it is an ellipse because a is not equal to c, and the signs are the same.
this is an ellipse.
