SUMMARY

The equation of the conicoid is given by \(2x^2 - y^2 = z^2 + 2x - 7\). To find the transformed equation after shifting the origin to \((2, -2, 0)\) and rotating the axes with direction ratios of \(-1, 0, 1\); \(1, -2, 1\); and \(0, 1, 1\), one must apply the appropriate coordinate transformation techniques. This involves substituting the new coordinates into the original equation and simplifying accordingly.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of conicoid equations and their properties
  • Familiarity with coordinate transformations, including shifting and rotation
  • Knowledge of linear algebra concepts, particularly direction ratios
  • Proficiency in algebraic manipulation and simplification of equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research coordinate transformation techniques in three-dimensional geometry
  • Study the properties and classifications of conicoids
  • Learn about direction ratios and their applications in geometry
  • Explore examples of shifting and rotating axes in mathematical problems
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physics students, and anyone involved in advanced geometry or algebra who seeks to understand conicoids and coordinate transformations.

Find the equation of the conicoid
$$2x^2-y^2=z^2+2x-7$$
when the origin is shifted to
$$(2,-2,0)$$
and the axes are rotated so that the new axes have direction ratios
$$-1,0,1;1,-2,1;0,1,1$$

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?
