\text{The quadratic formula:}\\\\ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a};\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\--------------------------------\\\text{We have}\ -5x^2-12x+8=0\\\\a=-5,\ b=-12,\ c=8\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\b^2-4ac=(-12)^2-4(-5)(8)=144+160=304\\\\\sqrt{b^2-4ac}=\sqrt{304}=\sqrt{16\cdot9}=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt{19}=4\sqrt{19}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-(-12)-4\sqrt{19}}{2(-5)}=\dfrac{12-4\sqrt{19}}{-10}=\boxed{-\dfrac{6-2\sqrt{19}}{5}}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-(-12)+4\sqrt{19}}{2(-5)}=\dfrac{12+4\sqrt{19}}{-10}=\boxed{-\dfrac{6+2\sqrt{19}}{5}}

Graph the circle (x+6)^2 + (y+5)^2 =9
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

This a circle centered at the point (-6,-5), and of radius "3" as it is shown in the attached image.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the standard formula for a circle of radius "R", and centered at the point (x_0,y_0) is given by:

(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2=R^2

Therefore, in our case, by looking at the standard equation they give us, we extract the following info:

1)  R^2 = 9\,\,\,then\,\,\,R=3  since the radius must be a positive number and (R=-3) is not a viable answer.

2) x_0=-6    for ( x-x_0) to equal   (x+6)

3) y_0=-5    for ( y-y_0) to equal   (y+5)

Therefore, we are in the presence of a circle centered at the point (-6,-5), and of radius "3". That is what we draw as seen in the attached image.
