Homer has made mistake in step 2

When you complete the square, you need to add the values to both sides of equation

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given equation of circle:</u></em>

x^2 + y^2 -14x + 2y -25 = 0

Let us first calculate center and radius and find out where he did the mistake

<em><u>Step 1:</u></em>

Group the terms

x^2 -14x + y^2 + 2y = 25\\\\(x^2 -14x) + (y^2 + 2y) = 25

<em><u>Step 2:</u></em>

(x^2 -14x + 49) + (y^2 + 2y + 1) = 25 + 49 + 1

But homers step 2 is:

(x^2 -14x + 49) + (y^2 + 2y + 1) = 25

So homer has made mistake in this step

When you complete the square, you need to add the values to both sides of equation

But homer did not add 49 and 1 to right side of equation

Correct steps are:

(x^2 -14x + 49) + (y^2 + 2y + 1) = 75\\\\(x-7)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 75

Comparing general equation of circle,

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Therefore, center is ( 7, -1) and radius is 8.66

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Width: 7 Length: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Width: x

length: 2x-4

Area: 70 meters squared

(2x-4)x=70

2x^2-4x=70

2x^2-4x-70=0

2(x^2-2x-35)=0

(x-7)(x+5)=0

x cannot be negative so x=7
