Answer

To find the equations of the asymptotes of the conic given by the equation:

\[ x^2 + 24xy - 6y^2 + 28x + 36y + 16 = 0 \]

we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the coefficients
The general form of the conic section is given by:

\[ Ax^2 + Bxy + Cy^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 \]

From the given equation, we can identify the coefficients:
- \( A = 1 \)
- \( B = 24 \)
- \( C = -6 \)
- \( D = 28 \)
- \( E = 36 \)
- \( F = 16 \)

### Step 2: Calculate the determinant (Delta)
The determinant \( \Delta \) for conics is given by:

\[ \Delta = ABC + 2FGH - AF^2 - BD^2 - CE^2 \]

where \( H = \frac{B}{2} \).

Substituting the values:
- \( H = \frac{24}{2} = 12 \)

Now, calculate \( \Delta \):

\[ \Delta = (1)(-6)(1) + 2(28)(36)(12) - (1)(16^2) - (24)(28^2) - (-6)(36^2) \]

Calculating each term:
1. \( ABC = 1 \times -6 \times 1 = -6 \)
2. \( 2FGH = 2 \times 28 \times 36 \times 12 = 2016 \)
3. \( AF^2 = 1 \times 16^2 = 256 \)
4. \( BD^2 = 24 \times 28^2 = 24 \times 784 = 18816 \)
5. \( CE^2 = -6 \times 36^2 = -6 \times 1296 = -7776 \)

Putting it all together:

\[ \Delta = -6 + 2016 - 256 - 18816 + 7776 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \Delta = -6 + 2016 - 256 - 18816 + 7776 = -18816 + 2016 + 7776 - 256 - 6 = -1000 \]

### Step 3: Set the determinant to zero for asymptotes
For the conic to represent a hyperbola, we need to set the determinant \( \Delta = 0 \).

### Step 4: Solve for \( k \)
We will modify the constant term \( F \) in the original equation to \( k \) and set the determinant equal to zero:

\[ \Delta = 1 \cdot (-6) \cdot k + 2(12)(14)(k) - (1)(k^2) - (24)(28^2) - (-6)(36^2) = 0 \]

This gives us a quadratic equation in \( k \). After simplifying, we will find the value of \( k \).

### Step 5: Substitute back to find the asymptotes
Once we find \( k \), we substitute it back into the modified conic equation:

\[ x^2 + 24xy - 6y^2 + 28x + 36y + k = 0 \]

This equation represents the asymptotes of the hyperbola.

### Final Answer
After performing the calculations, we find that the value of \( k \) is \( 46 \). Therefore, the equations of the asymptotes are given by:

\[ x^2 + 24xy - 6y^2 + 28x + 36y + 46 = 0 \]
