Negative 4 minus Positive 1. What do you think that is?

Rylee88:

Whats 4+1?

Mathplayer223:

-5

Rylee88:

Yes correct.

Rylee88:

If you ever need help I love intergers.

Rylee88:

You could also use a number line those are a helpful strategy too.

snowflake0531:

So you have (-4,-1) as your center it's tangent to the y axis which means it touches the y axis So from x equals -4 you have to add for to make is x equals 0 so the distance from the coordinate (-4,-1) to the y axis is 4 which makes the radius 4 And if you remember the equation for a circle, it is \((x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\) where (h,k) is the coordinate, (-4,-1) and the radius is 4

Rylee88:

Are you saying the answers 4?

Mathplayer223:

so what do I do?

Rylee88:

IS this NOT intergers?

just plug in h, k, and r into the equation

Mathplayer223:

(x-4)^2+(y-1)^2=4^2

snowflake0531:

actually it would be \((x-(-4)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 4^2\) try again

Mathplayer223:

thats the answer?

Mathplayer223:

or do we multiply the 4

snowflake0531:

**(y-(-1) simplify it

snowflake0531:

what is -(-) ?

snowflake0531:

it makes a positive

snowflake0531:

so \((x-(-4)^2 + (x-(-1)^2 = 4^2\) simplified is..?

Mathplayer223:

(x+y-17)=16

snowflake0531:

how'd you get that...

snowflake0531:

you still want it to be in the form of \((x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\) form

Mathplayer223:

but there isnt another paranthesis for the x

snowflake0531:

oh oops *** \((x-(-4))^2 + (y-(-1))^2 = 4^2\)

Mathplayer223:

y=-x^2-8x+1

snowflake0531:

no, keep it in this form

you just have the numbers wrong, that's it

Mathplayer223:

sorry im not sure

Mathplayer223:

wait

Mathplayer223:

i found it out

Mathplayer223:

(x+4)^2+(y+1)^2=16

snowflake0531:

yes good job

snowflake0531:

although i'm not sure whether it'd want 4^2 or 16

Mathplayer223:

let me see

snowflake0531:

Probably 4^2 tho

Mathplayer223:

16 was right

snowflake0531:

alright, nice
