How would I sketh the graph of this equation?
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+y^2+4x-10y=21
\n" ); document.write( "I started of by doing this
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+y^2+4x-10y=21
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+4x+4+y^2-10y-25=21+4-25
\n" ); document.write( "and got
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)^2+(y-5)^2=0
\n" ); document.write( "by this I see that the center is (-2,5)
\n" ); document.write( "and the radius is 0.
\n" ); document.write( "How would I sketch this and is what I did right?
\n" ); document.write( "..\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You did everything right except when you completed the square for the y-term
\n" ); document.write( "y^2-10y-25 this should have been y^2-10x+25. The third term is always a positive number because you are taking the square of a number. Your equation of the circle would now be (x+2)^2+(y-5)^2=50. You can now sketch the circle with center at (-2,5) and radius = sqrt(50) or 5sqrt(2)\r
