Start by completing the square.
x^2-8x-3y^2+12y=-16
x^2-8x+16-3(y^2-4y+4)=-16+16-12=-12
Notice the addition of those constants allows us to factor these expressions and because we did it to both sides it’s completely legit.
(x-4)^2-3(y-2)^2=-12
However, it seems we get a negative radius, which is not allowed. I think you entered the problem incorrectly.
Your answer would be A)
Hope this helps (:
Answer: 50.0
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Add 45+55=100
2. Divide 100 by 2 =50
3. Add a decimal after 50.0
Interest = (principal)(rate as a decimal)(time in years)
I = (16,000)(0.1)(0.5)
I = $800
