Analyzing the coefficients of the quadratic equation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on classifying the quadratic equation of the form Axx + Bxy + Cyx + Dyy + Ex + Fy + G = 0 into geometric shapes such as circles, ellipses, hyperbolas, and parabolas. The user seeks assistance in expressing the quadratic equation using matrix notation and analyzing the coefficients represented in a square matrix format. Key resources referenced include Wikipedia and Wolfram MathWorld for further understanding of quadratic surfaces and phase planes.

Is possible classify the quadric equation Axx + Bxy + Cyx + Dyy + Ex + Fy + G = 0 how straight, hyperbola, circle, ellipse, parabola, etc, in the same way that is did in the phase plan:

I tried this, but, for some reason, don't works... Can you help me!?

I want to express the quadric equation in this way: [tex] \begin{bmatrix}<br /> A & B \\<br /> C & D<br /> \end{bmatrix}<br /> :<br /> \begin{bmatrix}<br /> x^2 & xy \\<br /> yx & y^2<br /> \end{bmatrix}<br /> +<br /> \begin{bmatrix}<br /> E\\<br /> F<br /> \end{bmatrix}<br /> \cdot<br /> \begin{bmatrix}<br /> x\\<br /> y<br /> \end{bmatrix}<br /> +<br /> G=0[/tex]

And I want to analyze the square matrix, the first matrix, the matrix of the coefficients.
