The equation (x + 5) + (y + 3) = 169 models the position and range of the source of a radio signal. Describe the position of the source and the range of the signals.

Question

anonymous · Answer

i am going to make a guess that this is 
$$(x+5)^2+(y+3)^2=169$$ a circle with center $(-5,-3)$ and radius $\sqrt{169}=13$

anonymous · Answer

other wise the question does not really make sense

anonymous · Answer

that's how the question goes on my paper

anonymous · Answer

with the square or without the square?

anonymous · Answer

without

then i think it was a typo

anonymous · Answer

it's not a typo

anonymous · Answer

okay

i think that in this question if i square both sides and then i try to solve the general equation of second degree so formed we can get the solution @satellite73
