Algebra.Com's Answer #182257 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! first you bring all the x's and then the y's together and put them in order of exponents. \n" ); document.write( "x^2+4x+y^2+6y = 3 \n" ); document.write( "now complete the square for x \n" ); document.write( "(4/2)^2=2^2=4 \n" ); document.write( "add 4 to both sides\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(6/2)^2=3^2=9 \n" ); document.write( "add 9 to both sides\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "btw this is a circle \n" ); document.write( "set x=0 and get y \n" ); document.write( "set y=0 and get x \n" ); document.write( "plot those and make a circle\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "center is at-2,-3 \n" ); document.write( "radius 4\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
