MHB Check whether the conicoid central or not

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining if the conicoid represented by the equation 3x² - 5y² + z² - 6xy + 7yz = 15 is central. If it is central, the center and the conics formed by its intersection with the coordinate planes need to be found. If not, the tangent planes parallel to the coordinate planes should be identified. The forum encourages users to share their progress to facilitate effective assistance. The importance of providing initial work is emphasized to avoid redundant suggestions.

Check whether the conicoid represented by
$$3x^2-5y^2+z^2-6xy+7yz=15$$
is central or not.

If it is central, obtain the center and the conics given by the intersection of the conicoid with the coordinate planes.

If the given conicoid is not central, obtain all its tangent planes parallel to the coordinate planes.

Hello debrajr and welcome to MHB! :D

We ask that our users show their progress (work thus far or thoughts on how to begin) when posting questions. This way our helpers can see where you are stuck or may be going astray and will be able to post the best help possible without potentially making a suggestion which you have already tried, which would waste your time and that of the helper.

Can you post what you have done so far?
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
