Answer:
Eq: (x+a/2)²+(y+1)²=(a²-8)/4
Center: O(-a/2, -1)
Radius: r=0.5×sqrt(a²-8)
Mandatory: a>2×sqrt(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The circle with center in O(xo,yo) and radius r has the equation:
(x-xo)²+(y-yo)²=r²
We have:
x²+y²+ax+2y+3=0
But: x²+ax=x²+2(a/2)x+a²/4-a²/4= (x+a/2)²-a²/4
And
y²+2y+3=y²+2y+1+2=(y+1)²+2
Replacing, we get:
(x+a/2)²-a²/4+(y+1)²+2=0
(x+a/2)²+(y+1)²=a²/4-2=(a²-8)/4
By visual inspection we note that:
- center of circle: O(-a/2, -1)
- radius: r=sqrt((a²-8)/4)=0.5×sqrt(a²-8). This means a²>8 or a>2×sqrt(2)
-8+b2-(5+b2). Since the - is outside the paranthesis the signs inside change: -8+b2-5-b2. -8-5=-3, b2-b2=0. Your answer: -3 :)
This is a horizontal line passing through the point (0,-1).
Slope = zero.
