Julius was given a conic equation. Both sides had an x² term and a y² term, and according to the flowchart that he made, the equation should represent a circle, ellipse, or hyperbola. However, when he graphed the equation, he got a parabola. What mistake could Julius have made in his flowchart? Give an example to support your answer.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

true !

step-by-step explanation:

-3.5 degrees per hour

step-by-step explanation:

find the unit rate:

-12   1/4 degrees           12.25 degrees

= - = -3.5 degrees per hour

      3   1/2 hours               3.5 hours
