Problem
What is the graph of in the coordinate plane?
Solution
Since the equation has even powers of and , let and . Then . Rearranging gives , or . There are two cases: or .
If , taking the square root of both sides gives , and rearranging gives . Substituting back in and gives us , the equation for a circle.
Similarly, if , we take the square root of both sides to get , or , which is equivalent to , a hyperbola.
Hence, our answer is .
