CONCEPT:

The general equation of a non-degenerate conic section is: Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 where A, B and C are all not zero

The above given equation represents a non-degenerate conics whose nature is given below in the table:

S.No

Condition

Nature of Conic

1

B = 0 and A = C

Circle

2

B = 0 and Either A = 0 or C = 0

Parabola

3

B = 0, A ≠ C and AC > 0

Ellipse

4

B = 0, A ≠ C and sign of A and C are opposite 

Hyperbola


CALCULATION:

Given: 4x2 - 9y2 + 36x + 36y - 125 = 0

By comparing the given equation with Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0, we get

⇒ A = 4, B = 0, C = - 9, D = 36, E = 36 and F = - 125

Here, we can see that, B = 0, A ≠ C and sign of A and C are opposite

As we know that, if B = 0, A ≠ C and sign of A and C are opposite then the non-degenerate equation represents a hyperbola

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
