Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the equation of a circle is
where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius. This means that for the circle with center (-3,1) and radius 5 substitute into the vertex form these values. Substitute h = -3, k= 1, and r = 5. The equation becomes
. This simplifies to
. The solution is C.
-3 x -26 = 78
meaning the answer is D.
The reason the answer is D, is because two negatives when multiplied or divided become positive. Only when multiplied or divided does this occur.
Answer:
<em>The second choice is correct. It can be factored as:</em>

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The Difference of Squares Method for Factoring</u>
The expression:

Is a widely used method to factor binomials that are expressed as the subtraction of two perfect squares.
The condition for a binomial to be factored by using this method is that both terms must have an exact square root and they must be subtracted.
The last two choices are not valid because they are not a subtraction but an addition.
The first choice is not valid because none of the terms is a perfect square.
The second choice is correct. It can be factored as:

5 because 6 times 5 equal 30
