To analyze the given equation \(5x^2 + 5y^2 + z^2 + 8xy + 4yz + 4zx + 2x - 2y + 2 = 0\), we can start by rewriting it in a more manageable form. This equation is a quadratic form in three variables \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\). Let's rewrite it in matrix form:

\[ \mathbf{x}^T A \mathbf{x} + \mathbf{b}^T \mathbf{x} + c = 0 \]

where \(\mathbf{x} = \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{pmatrix}\), \(A\) is a symmetric matrix, \(\mathbf{b}\) is a vector, and \(c\) is a scalar.

First, identify the coefficients for the quadratic terms, the mixed terms, and the linear terms:

1. Quadratic terms: \(5x^2\), \(5y^2\), \(z^2\)
2. Mixed terms: \(8xy\), \(4yz\), \(4zx\)
3. Linear terms: \(2x\), \(-2y\)

The quadratic form can be represented as:

\[ \mathbf{x}^T A \mathbf{x} = 5x^2 + 5y^2 + z^2 + 8xy + 4yz + 4zx \]

The symmetric matrix \(A\) is:

\[ A = \begin{pmatrix}
5 & 4 & 2 \\
4 & 5 & 2 \\
2 & 2 & 1
\end{pmatrix} \]

The linear terms can be represented as:

\[ \mathbf{b} = \begin{pmatrix}
2 \\
-2 \\
0
\end{pmatrix} \]

The scalar \(c\) is:

\[ c = 2 \]

So, the equation can be written in matrix form as:

\[ \mathbf{x}^T A \mathbf{x} + \mathbf{b}^T \mathbf{x} + c = 0 \]

\[ \begin{pmatrix} x & y & z \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix}
5 & 4 & 2 \\
4 & 5 & 2 \\
2 & 2 & 1
\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} 2 & -2 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{pmatrix} + 2 = 0 \]

To further analyze this equation, we can complete the square or use eigenvalue methods to understand the nature of the quadratic form. However, this matrix form already provides a compact representation of the original equation.
