A circle of radius r centered at (a, b) has equation

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r ²

To get the given equation in this form, complete the square with respect to both x and y.

2x² - 8x = 2 (x² - 4x)

2x² - 8x = 2 (x² - 4x + 4 - 4)

2x² - 8x = 2 ((x - 2)² - 4)

2x² - 8x = 2 (x - 2)² - 8

2y² + 10y = 2 (y² + 5y)

2y² + 10y = 2 (y² + 5y + 25/4 - 25/4)

2y² + 10y = 2 ((y + 5/2)² - 25/4)

2y² + 10y = 2 (y + 5/2)² - 25/2

So we have

2x² + 2y² - 8x + 10y + 2 = 0

2 (x - 2)² - 8 + 2 (y + 5/2)² - 25/2 + 2 = 0

2 (x - 2)² + 2 (y + 5/2)² = 37/2

(x - 2)² + (y + 5/2)² = 37/4

(x - 2)² + (y + 5/2)² = ((√37)/2)²

which means this circle has radius (√37)/2 and center (2, -5/2).

Use the exponent rule to simplify

Answer:

$y^{-5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Exponent Quotient Rule states that if two terms of the same base are being divided by each other, then the simplified expression is the base to the first power subtracted by the second power. As an algebraic equation, that would be $\frac{x^{a} }{x^{b} } =x^{a-b$ , where $x$ is the common base and $a$ and $b$ are the exponents.
