If you want to cheat, paste the formula in Wolfram Alpha. However, this one is not that difficult. From the fact that x and y are squared you can infer that this is a circle. The 9 reveals that the radius r^2 is 9, so radius is 3.
The (x-2) tells us that the circle is shifted to the right by 2. Likewise, y+1 shifts it down by one. So the center is at (2,-1). If the equation would be x^2 + y^2 = 9, you'd have a circle exactly on the origin.
Hopefully this helps you break down the equation and pick the right picture!
2+4a=-10
First, subtract 2 from both sides.
4a=-12
Then divide 4 from both sides.
a=-3
hope it helps!

Answer:
C. The 6th term is positive/negative 80
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Geometric Progression


Required

To get the 6th term of the progression, first we need to solve for the first term and the common ratio of the progression;
To solve the common ratio;
Divide the 7th term by the 5th term; This gives

Divide the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 40
----- equation 1
Recall that the formula of a GP is

Where n is the nth term
So,


Substitute the above expression in equation 1
becomes


Square root both sides

r = ±
Next, is to solve for the first term;
Using 
By substituting 160 for T5 and ±
for r;
We get


Multiply through by 16



Now, we can easily solve for the 6th term
Recall that the formula of a GP is

Here, n = 6;



r = ±
So,
or 
or 
or 
±80
Hence, the 6th term is positive/negative 80
