Question 157659: The vertex of this parabola is at (3, -2). When the x-value is 4, the
y-value is 3. What is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation?
Couldn't get a picture up, but the parabola open upward and its vertices is not at the origin. I hope this is enough info.

Question 159884This question is from textbook algebra 2
: hello. i'm on chapter 5 section 4 problem 20.
thanks for helping me
can you work that problem out for me? what confuses me is i had a negative twelve for the square root, and i know that square roots aren't suppose to be negative so then i multiplied each side by negative one, but then that left the x squared negative, and i don't know how to write that in paranthesis to be correct. I'm afraid i went wrong from there so can u please explain that and the whole problem to me? thanksThis question is from textbook algebra 2

Question 162018: 7. What is the standard equation of the circle with radius 5, and center (-5,-1)?
A (x-5)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 25
B (x+5)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 25
C (x+5)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 5
D A circle cannot have a center at (-5,-1).
E (x-5)^2 - (y-1)^2 = 25
F (x+5)^2 - (y+1)^2 = 25
I used the formula for a circle and plugged the information in, and I got F for the right answer. But choice D is confusing me and i wanted to make sure F really is correct. Thank you!

Question 162556: 15. What are the center and radius of the circle whose equation is x^2 + (y-3)^2 = 144?
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.
(x-0)^2+(y-3)^2=12^2
(0,-3)
r=12
I know this is incorrect, but I cant find where my mistake is at. If someone could point it out, I would realy apperciate it. Thank you so much.

Question 165014This question is from textbook
:
Find center and radius of the circle x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 2y + 25 = 0.
Let me know if the following below is done wrong. help is appreciated.
x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 2y = -25
(x^2 - 10x)-(y^2 + 2y)= -25
( x^2 -10x -10) -(y^2 + 2y + 1)= -1 - 10 + 1
(x - 2)^5 -(y + 1)^2 = -10
The center is (2,-1); the radius is -2.
