Identify the conic section $$$\frac{500 x^{2}}{53} = \frac{7}{20000}$$$

Identify and find the properties of the conic section $$$\frac{500 x^{2}}{53} = \frac{7}{20000}$$$.

The general equation of a conic section is $$$A x^{2} + B x y + C y^{2} + D x + E y + F = 0$$$.

In our case, $$$A = \frac{500}{53}$$$, $$$B = 0$$$, $$$C = 0$$$, $$$D = 0$$$, $$$E = 0$$$, $$$F = - \frac{7}{20000}$$$.

The discriminant of the conic section is $$$\Delta = 4 A C F - A E^{2} - B^{2} F + B D E - C D^{2} = 0$$$.

Next, $$$B^{2} - 4 A C = 0$$$.

Since $$$\Delta = 0$$$, this is the degenerated conic section.

Since $$$B^{2} - 4 A C = 0$$$, the equation represents two parallel lines.

$$$\frac{500 x^{2}}{53} = \frac{7}{20000}$$$A represents a pair of the lines $$$x = - \frac{\sqrt{3710}}{10000}$$$, $$$x = \frac{\sqrt{3710}}{10000}$$$A.

General form: $$$\frac{500 x^{2}}{53} - \frac{7}{20000} = 0$$$A.

Factored form: $$$\left(10000 x - \sqrt{3710}\right) \left(10000 x + \sqrt{3710}\right) = 0$$$A.
