OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how are u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i summoned the courage to actually ask you. I am feeling great.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

@KonaFirestar @The_Jokers_wife Please do not spam someone else's question. Use the chat instead.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

@cassandralombardi Hold on a sec while i read your question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

XD @StudyGurl14 don't u see we stop posting things in the chat XD u should have said that 2 min's ago #reading problem

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

??? @The_Jokers_wife

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cassandralombardi you have \[x^2 + y^2 -6y -12 = 0\] Now, put \[y^2 -6y-12 = (y-k)^2\] form

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

@cassandralombardi You're going to need to complete the square. Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

To complete the square, find this value, then add it to both sides of the equation. \(\large (\frac{-6}{2})^2\)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

By adding that value, you can easier factor the quadratic

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

right

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

so you have \(\large y^2 -6y-3\) Wait...something not right...that's not factor-able

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

@sangya21 Can you do this? I'm confused...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2 = -y^2 +6y +12\] \[x^2 = -(y -k)^2 +21 \] \[-y^2 +6y +12 = -(y -k)^2 +21 \] \[-y^2 +6y +12 - 21 = -(y -k)^2 \] \[-y^2 +6y -9 = -(y -k)^2 \] \[y^2 -6y + 9 = (y -k)^2 \] \[y^2 -3y -3y +9 = (y -k)^2 \] \[y(y -3) -3(y -3) = (y -k)^2 \] \[(y -3)(y -3) = (y -k)^2 \] \[(y -3)^2 = (y -k)^2 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this correct? @StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

omg @sangya21 that's amazing! EXCELLENT job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well sometimes confusion helps. @StudyGurl14 you showed the way. ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

standard form of equation (a,b) are the center. r = radius. \[(x-a)^2 +(y-b)^2 = r^2\]

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

lol, thx. That's kind of you. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cassandralombardi have you done it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at the graph which point is at the center of the circle
