question 2.
\n" ); document.write( "rewrite the formule in the form:
\n" ); document.write( " x^2 - 20x + y^2 -16y = -64
\n" ); document.write( "next
\n" ); document.write( " x^2 -20x is the same as x^2 -20x +100 -100
\n" ); document.write( " x^2 -20x +100 is the same as (x-10)^2
\n" ); document.write( "SO: x^2 -20x is the same as (x-10)^2 -100
\n" ); document.write( "In the same way:
\n" ); document.write( " y^2 -16y is the same as (y-8)^2 -64
\n" ); document.write( "The complete formule becomes:
\n" ); document.write( " (x-10)^2 + (y-8)^2 -164 = -64
\n" ); document.write( "or:
\n" ); document.write( " (x-10)^2 + (y-8)^2 = 100
\n" ); document.write( "this is a circle with centre (10, 8) and radius 10
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
