Algebra.Com's Answer #72852 by robolthuis(1) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( " |
