Complete the square and write the given equation in the standard form for the equation of a circle. then give the center and redius of the circle and sketch a graph.
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 8x + y^2 + 4y + 16= 0
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+8x+___+y^2+4y+___=-16+___+___
\n" ); document.write( "We need to fill the blanks with (b/2)^2 from each square we wish to complete. Whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other side.
\n" ); document.write( "The first set of blanks get (8/2)^2=4^2=16 the second get (4/2)^2=(2)^2=4
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+8x+16+y^2+4y+4=-16+16+4
\n" ); document.write( "(x^2+8x+16)+(y^2+4y+4)=4 Factor
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B4%29%5E2%2B%28y%2B2%29%5E2=4\"<---standard form of the equation of the circle.
\n" ); document.write( "The standard form of a circle is: \"highlight%28%28x-h%29%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2=r%5E2%29\", where (h,k) is the center and \"sqrt%28r%5E2%29=r\" is the radius.
\n" ); document.write( "For this circle the center is (-4,-2) and the radius is \"sqrt%284%29=highlight%282%29\"
