If B2 – 4AC < 0, the graph of Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey
+ F= 0 is a circle . A and C in the equation of a circle are
equal.

B2 – 4AC < 0 Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

𝟐 𝒙𝟐 +𝟐 𝒚 𝟐 −𝟖 𝒙 +𝟏𝟐 𝒚 +𝟐=𝟎
Compute for the value of discriminant B2 – 4AC < 0
A=2, B= 0, C= 2
B2 – 4AC = (0)2 – 4(2)(2) = - 16
Since the discriminant is less than zero and the
value of A and C is the same the given equation is a
circle.
If B2 – 4AC < 0, the graph of Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey +
F= 0 is either an ellipse or a circle , A and C in the equation
of an ellipse have the same sign. A and C in the equation of
a circle are equal.

Compute for the value of discriminant B2 – 4AC < 0
A=9, B= 0, C= 25
B2 – 4AC = (0)2 – 4(9)(25) = - 900
Since the discriminant is negative , the equation is
an ellipse.
If B2 – 4AC = 0, the graph of Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey +
F= 0 is a parabola. Either A or C in the equation of a
parabola is zero.

B2 – 4AC = 0 Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

Compute for the value of discriminant B2 – 4AC = 0
A=4, B= 0, C= 0
B2 – 4AC = (0)2 – 4(4)(0) = 0
Since the discriminant is zero , the equation is a
parabola.
If B2 – 4AC > 0, the graph of Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 +
Dx + Ey + F= 0 is a hyperbola. A and C in the
equation of a hyperbola are opposite in sign.

B2 – 4AC > 0 Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

Compute for the value of discriminant B2 – 4AC > 0
A=1, B= 0, C= – 4
B2 – 4AC = (0)2 – 4(1)(-4) = 16
Since the discriminant is positive , the equation is a
hyperbola.

A=9, B= 0, C= 4
B2 – 4AC = (0)2 – 4(9)(4) = -144
Since the discriminant is negative and
the values of A and C are different , the
equation is an ellipse.

A=1, B= 0, C= 0
B2 – 4AC = (0)2 – 4(1)(0) = 0
Since the discriminant is zero , the
equation is a parabola.
 A=1, B= 0, C= 1
B2 – 4AC = (0)2 – 4(1)(1) = - 4
since the discriminant is less than zero
and the values of A and C are the
same, the given equation is a circle.

A=4, B= 0, C= -1
B2 – 4AC = (0)2 – 4(4)(-1) = 16
Since the discriminant is positive
and the operation between A and C is
subtraction , the equation is a
hyperbola.
Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

Since the value of A and C is

the same, therefore the given
equation is a circle.

Since the value of C is zero , the

equation is a parabola.
Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0
𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟒 𝒚 𝟐 +𝟏𝟎 𝒙 − 𝟏𝟔 𝒚 + 𝟓=𝟎
Since the value of A is positive
