Finding the curve from the given equation. [closed]
The equation given is as follows :
$X^{4}-Y^{4}+2Y^{3}+2XY(Y-X)=0$.
We are asked to find out the type of curve represented by the above equation.I dont remember the options well.But it was like
$1$.equation of $2$ circles
$2$.equation of $2$ lines
$3$.equation of a circle and line
Can someone help me to solve this ?

Are you sure you wrote that down properly? For whatever it's worth, I just graphed that curve in Mathematica, and it doesn't appear to be any of those things.

I'm getting two weird almost-lines that become curvy shapes near the origin. The reason I asked if you wrote it down correctly is that if you had an extra factor of $-2X^3$ in there, you'd get $X^4 - Y^4 + 2(Y^3 - X^3) + 2 X Y (Y - X) = (X - Y) (X + Y) (-2 X + X^2 - 2 Y + Y^2) = 0$, which is exactly the equation for two lines and one circle.

Can yu write the full steps on how you coverted that equation into this form of 2 lines and a circle?

You are indeed missing a factor of $2X^3$.
As for factoring here it is-
$$X^4-Y^4+2Y^3-2X^3+2XY(Y-X)=0$$
$$=(X^2+Y^2)(X^2-Y^2)+2(Y-X)(X^2+Y^2+XY)+2XY(Y-X)$$
$$=(X-Y)(X+Y)(X^2+Y^2)+2(Y-X)(X^2+Y^2+XY)+2XY(Y-X)$$
Factoring out $(Y-X)$
$$=(Y-X) [ (X+Y)(-X^2-Y^2)+2(X^2+Y^2+XY)+2XY ]$$
$$=(Y-X) [ (X+Y)(-X^2-Y^2)+2(X^2+Y^2+XY+XY) ]$$
$$=(Y-X) [ (X+Y)(-X^2-Y^2)+2(X^2+Y^2+2XY) ]$$
$$=(Y-X) [ (X+Y)(-X^2-Y^2)+2(X+Y)(X+Y) ]$$
Factoring out $(Y+X)$
$$=(Y-X)(Y+X)(-X^2-Y^2+X+Y)$$
Now either $x+y=0$ => $x=-y$
or $x-y=0$ => $x=y$ (equations of line)
or $(-X^2-Y^2+X+Y)=0$ (equation of circle)
