x^2+y^2+4y+2=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify the following?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Show that the equation represents a circle by rewriting it in standard form, and find the center and radius of the circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok i can do that 1 sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation for a circle is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we have to make the equation u gave me look like that so x^2+y^2+4y+2=0 x^2 + (y + 2)^2 - (2)^2 = -2 x^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 2 (x + 0)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not to rush you but i have to go soon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok great :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x + 0)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 2 \[(x + 0)^2 + (y+2)^2 = (\sqrt{2})^{2}\] therefore the coordinates of the center is (0,-2) and the radius is \[\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np! :)

you rock
