Answers:

Center is (-2.5, 0.5)
Radius is 2.12 units

Note: the value of the radius is approximate and rounded to 2 decimal places
If you need the exact value in terms of a square root, then the exact radius is sqrt(4.5) units long where 'sqrt' stands for 'square root'

-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------

Work Shown:

We need to complete the square for the x and y terms

x^2 + y^2 + 5x - y + 2 = 0
(x^2 + 5x) + (y^2 - y) + 2 = 0
(x^2 + 5x + 6.25 - 6.25) + (y^2 - y) + 2 = 0 .... see note1 below
(x^2 + 5x + 6.25 - 6.25) + (y^2 - y + 0.25 - 0.25) + 2 = 0 .... see note2 below
(x^2 + 5x + 6.25) - 6.25 + (y^2 - y + 0.25) - 0.25 + 2 = 0 
(x^2 + 5x + 6.25) + (y^2 - y + 0.25) + (-6.25 - 0.25 + 2) = 0 
(x^2 + 5x + 6.25) + (y^2 - y + 0.25) - 4.5 = 0 
(x + 2.5)^2 + (y - 0.5)^2 - 4.5 = 0 
(x + 2.5)^2 + (y - 0.5)^2 = 4.5

So the center is (-2.5, 0.5) and the radius is roughly 2.12 units, which is the result of taking the square root of 4.5

sqrt(4.5) = 2.12132 approximately and that rounds further to 2.12

----------------------

Note1: I took half of the x coefficient 5 to get 2.5, then I squared that to get 6.25. This value is added and subtracted on the same side to keep things balanced. The goal of doing all this to complete the square for the x terms

Note2: Similar to note1 above, but this time it's for the y terms. In this case, the y coefficient is -1. Half of that is -0.5 which squares to 0.25. The value of 0.25 is added and subtracted on the left side to keep things balanced.

Factor the expression completely
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Factor the expression completely would be A -2.25(4.5+x)

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.25*3= -6.75 and -2.25*x= -2.25x

then the answer of  -6.75+2.25x

The data below gives the number of books that 15 students checked out of the school library in one month. Make a frequency table
Alex
Answer: See the explanation below.

A frequency table is a way to organize data. We create bins (intervals) to collect the data. Then, we give the frequency (number) of data values in each interval.

Here is an example of how you could sort this data.

Interval:     Frequency:
0 - 1                  7
2 - 3                  7
4 - 5                  1
