3. Let C be the conic with equation: y² + 8y - 8x = 8. (a) Find the discriminant of C and hence determine what kind of conic C is. (b) Determine each of the following features of C (where they exist): eccentricity, centre, vertices, foci, directrices, asymptotes, axis intercepts. (c) Give a sketch of C including the features (except eccentricity) found in part (b).
