Q:
\n" ); document.write( "A circle is described by the equation \"x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+%2B+14x+%2B+2y+%2B+14+=+0\". What are the coordinates for the center of the circle and the length of the radius?
\n" ); document.write( "A:
\n" ); document.write( "Express the equation in the form \"%28x+-+h%29%5E2+%2B+%28y+-+k%29%5E2+=+r%5E2\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+y%5E2+%2B+14x+%2B+2y+%2B+14+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5E2++%2B+14x%29+%2B+%28y%5E2+%2B+2y%29+=+-14\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%5E2++%2B+14x+%2B+49%29+%2B+%28y%5E2+%2B+2y+%2B+1%29+=+-14+%2B+49+%2B+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x+%2B+7%29%5E2+%2B+%28y+%2B+1%29%5E2+=+36\"
\n" ); document.write( "h = -7, k = -1, and r = \"sqrt%2836%29\" = 6
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the center is (-7, -1) and the length of the radius is 6.
