The equation `x^(2) - 2xy +y^(2) +3x +2 = 0` represents

A

A parabola

B

An ellipse

C

A hyperbola

D

A circle

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`Delta =(1)(1)(2) + 2((3)/(2)) (0) (-1) -(1) (0)^(2) -(1) ((3)/(2))^(2) -2 (-1)^(2)`
`= 2-(9)/(4) -2 ne 0`
And `h^(2) - ab =1 -1 =0`
i.e., `h^(2) = ab`, so it represents a parabola.
