Identify the value for C in the following equation that would make theconic section a hyperbola: 2x2 + y2 + 3x + 5y + 1 = 0

ANSWER:
C = -1
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We know that the general formula of hyperbola is the following
[tex]\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]Which means that the sign must have y must be negative for it to be a hyperbola.
Therefore y must be equal to -1.
[tex]2x^2-1y^2+3x+5y+1=0[/tex]
