Your Input
Identify and find the properties of the conic section $$$x = 3 y^{2} + 2 y + 2$$$.
Solution
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, $$$A = 0$$$, $$$B = 0$$$, $$$C = 3$$$, $$$D = -1$$$, $$$E = 2$$$, $$$F = 2$$$.
The discriminant of the conic section is $$$\Delta = 4 A C F - A E^{2} - B^{2} F + B D E - C D^{2} = -3$$$.
Next, $$$B^{2} - 4 A C = 0$$$.
Since $$$B^{2} - 4 A C = 0$$$, the equation represents a parabola.
To find its properties, use the parabola calculator.
Answer
$$$x = 3 y^{2} + 2 y + 2$$$A represents a parabola.
General form: $$$- x + 3 y^{2} + 2 y + 2 = 0$$$A.
