Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Homogenize the conic equation \(2x^2-2xy+3y^2+2x-y-1=0\) using \(1 = \frac{x+2y}{-\lambda}\): \(2x^2-2xy+3y^2+2x\left(\frac{x+2y}{-\lambda}\right)-y\left(\frac{x+2y}{-\lambda}\right)-1\left(\frac{x+2y}{-\lambda}\right)^2=0\) Multiply by \(\lambda^2\) and collect terms:…
