Answer:
a. (x + 4)² + (y – 7)² = 3²
Step-by-step explanation:
General equation for a circle is:
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
h and k are the center (h, k), and r is the radius.
They want a center of (-4, 7) so h=-4 and k=7
They want a radius of 3 so r=3
plug it into the equation.
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
(x – (-4))² + (y – (7))² = (3)²
(x + 4)² + (y – 7)² = 3²
ANSWER
The restrictions are

EXPLANATION
We were given the rational function,

The function is defined for all values of a, except

This has become a quadratic trinomial, so we need to split the middle term.
We do that by multiplying the coefficient of
which is 5 by the constant term which is 3. This gives us 15.
The factors of 15 that adds up to 16 are 1 and 15.
We use these factors to split the middle term.

We now factor to get,

We factor further to get,

This implies that,

This gives

These are the restrictions.
Look it up or study they are not that hard
