Conic Sections. Graphing is cool. I like pictures a lot; I'm very visual. Conic sections are cool. I just thought I'd throw this problem in the mix, so I could do some more graphing.
To solve this week's problem in completion, you need to recall the following math skills:
✔️ Completing the square method
✔️ Factoring polynomials
✔️ Other algebra techniques 🤷🏿
Happy solving!
Check back on Friday, July 17th for the solution, which will be posted below ⬇️.

I previously used the completing the square method in WMP! #7 which required me to solve a quadratic equation. Here's how the completing the square method looks for the curve from this week's problem:
L👀ks like we have a...🥁drum roll please🥁...HYPERBOLA! 🎉 Now that we know we have a HYPERBOLA, we can find the center, vertices, and asymptotes. I color coordinated the important information from the standard form with the components associated with a HYPERBOLA.
Here is the graph of the HYPERBOLA with the center, vertices, and asymptotes identified:

😄 I had fun with this one. 😄
