+41 Identify the conic section.
4x^2 + 7y^2 + 32x - 56y + 148 = 0
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's hyperbola with center (4, 4) and foci at (-4, 5.73), (-4, 2.27)?
thanks!
+118687 NOTE that your earlier hyperbola had a minus sign between the squared terms
and
The ellipse as a positive sign. If the numbers on the botton were the same then it would be a circle.
A circle is a special case of an elipse because it has a double focii instead of 2 separate focii.
Effectively a cirlce has one centre and other ellipses have 2 centres.

4x^2+ 32x + 7y^2 - 56y =-148 \\\\
4(x^2+8x)+7(y^2-8y)=-148\\\\
4(x^2+8x+16)+7(y^2-8y+16)=-148+4*16+7*16\\\\
4(x+4)^2+7(y-4)^2=28\\\\
\frac{4(x+4)^2}{28}+\frac{7(y-4)^2}{28}=1\\\\
\frac{(x+4)^2}{7}+\frac{(y-4)^2}{4}=1\\\\
\frac{(x+4)^2}{(\sqrt7)^2}+\frac{(y-4)^2}{2^2}=1\\\\$$
This is an ellipse centre (-4,+4)
The ends of the major axis are $$(-4-\sqrt7,4) and (-4+\sqrt7,4)$$
Then ends of the minor axis are (-4,4-2) (-4,4+2) that is $$(-4,2) and (-4,6)$$
