If you can rewrite the formula as (x-a)² + (y-b)² = r², the center is at (a,b) and the radius is r.
If you work out this equation, and map it to the original, you will find that the +4x term hints that a = 2 (double product) and -12y hints that b=-6, and r=6.
So, the formula can be written as (x+2)² + (y-6)² = 6² and the center is at (-2,6) and the radius is 6.
Answer:
228mm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.
