help: What is the general form of the equation for the given circle? x2 + y2 − 8x − 8y + 23 = 0 x2 + y2 − 8x − 8y + 32 = 0 x2 + y2 − 4x − 4y + 23 = 0 x2 + y2 + 4x + 4y + 9 = 0

What is this?
hmmm. is this even math?
@GabeBae
yes its a Math question that I don't get at all
If this has something to do with circles. What grade are you?
if you could answer that?
ok do you know how to complete a square?
(x^2 -8x _) + y^2- 8y _) +23=0
take the first equation in your answers and separate the terms like this (x^2 -8x _) + y^2- 8y _) +23=0 now half the middle term and sqaure it like this 1/2)(-8) = -4 and (-4)^2 = 16, x and y are the same, remember we are adding 16 onthe left twice--so we must add it on the right twice,so (x^2 -8x+16) + (y^2- 8y+16) +23=16+16 now factor the x nad y trinomial into squares what do you get??
can you factor them??
