Question

Identify this conic section. x 2 + y 2 = 25 line circle ellipse parabola hyperbola

Answer 1

circle

Explanation:

The equation

x² + y² = r²

Represents a circle centred at the origin with radius r

x² + y² = 25 ← is in this form and

is a circle centre (0, 0) with r = 5

Answer 2

circle

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

`{x}^(2) + {y}^(2) = 25`

To determine the type of conic, we analyze the coefficient and sign of the quadratic terms.

If the coefficient of the quadratic terms are equal and have the same sign,then the conic is a circle.

If the coefficient of the quadratic terms are equal and have opposite signs,then the conic is a hyperbola.

If the coefficient of the quadratic terms are not equal and have the same sign,then the conic is an ellipse.

Since the coefficients are all 1 and the signs are positive, the given conic is a circle.
