Question
Which equation does not represent an ellipse?
![**Question 6**
Which equation does not represent an ellipse?
**Options:**
(A) \(\frac{(x + 1)^2}{3} - \frac{(y - 5)^2}{7} = 1\)
(B) \(\frac{x^2}{4} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1\)
(C) \(25x^2 + y^2 + 150x - 14y + 174 = 0\)
(D) \(\frac{(x + 1)^2}{3} + \frac{(y - 5)^2}{7} = 1\)
Explanation:
- Option (A) represents a hyperbola, not an ellipse, because it has a difference between the squared terms.
- Option (B) represents an ellipse in standard form.
- Option (C) can be converted to an ellipse equation by completing the square, making it also represent an ellipse.
- Option (D) represents an ellipse in standard form.
Therefore, Option (A) does not represent an ellipse.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F54f1e0b6-1968-49a8-ad8c-1134cba15596%2F4c51cd41-02e4-4ab5-8450-8671b0a637ea%2Fgp4ritp_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
