Answer:
<h2>The standard form: x² + (y + 1)² = 25</h2><h2>The general form: x² + y² + 2y - 24 = 0</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle:

(h, k) - center
r - radius
We have the center (0, -1) and the radius r = 5 <em>(look at the picture)</em>.
Substitute:

<em>use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²</em>
<em>subtract 25 from both sides</em>

C = (5,4)
D = (4,2)
Dilation with factor 8 => for the same x, y increase by a factor of 8
=> C' = (5, 8*4) = (5, 32)
=> D' = (4, 8*2) = (4, 16)
slope of C'D' = [32 - 16] / [5 -4 ] =16
You can also see that the slope of CD = [4 - 2] / [5 - 4] = 2
Then, the new slope is 8 times the old slope, this is it was multiplied by the same factor, 8.
Answer: 16
F(x) = 3x+1
G(x) = X^2 - 6
F(G(x)) = F(X^2 - 6) = 3(X^2 - 6) + 1 = 3X^2 - 18 + 1 = 3X^2 -17
F(G(x)) = 3X^2 - 17
