)4x^2 + 9y^2 - 16x + 18y - 11 = 0
4x^2 - 16x + 9y^2 + 18y = 11
4(x^2 - 4x) + 9(y^2 + 2y) = 11
4(x^2 - 4x + 4) + 9(y^2 + 2y + 1) = 11 + 16 + 9
4(x - 2)^2 + 9(y + 1)^2 = 36
(x - 2)^2/9 + (y + 1)^2/4 = 1
This is an ellipse, with center (2, -1), major axis of length 6, minor axis of length 6. It is elongated horizontally.
2) y^2 = -20x vertex foci
(y - 0)^2 = -20(x - 0)
Vertex (0, 0)
4p = -20
p = -5
Focus is (-5, 0). It opens to the left.
3) sin^2 x - sin x = 0
sin x(sin x - 1) = 0
sin x = 0 or sin x - 1 = 0
x = 0, ? or sin x = 1
x = ?/2
