  2. B \(x-6=0, x+2=0\)
  3. C \(x+6=0, x-2=0\)
  4. D \(x+4=0, x+5=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(x-6=0, x+2=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 9 x^2+25 y^2-36 x+50 y-164=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 9 x^2-36 x+36++25 y^2+50 y-25=164+36+25 \\ & \Rightarrow 9\left(x^2-4 x+4\right)-25\left(y^2+2 y-1\right)=225 \\ & \Rightarrow 9(x-2)^2-25(y+1)^2=225 \end{aligned}\)…
