Your Input
Identify and find the properties of the conic section $$$x y = 25$$$.
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, $$$A = 0$$$, $$$B = 1$$$, $$$C = 0$$$, $$$D = 0$$$, $$$E = 0$$$, $$$F = -25$$$.
The discriminant of the conic section is $$$\Delta = 4 A C F - A E^{2} - B^{2} F + B D E - C D^{2} = 25$$$.
Next, $$$B^{2} - 4 A C = 1$$$.
Since $$$B^{2} - 4 A C \gt 0$$$, the equation represents a hyperbola.
To find its properties, use the hyperbola calculator.
Answer
$$$x y = 25$$$A represents a hyperbola.
General form: $$$x y - 25 = 0$$$A.
