ANSWER
The radius is 4
EXPLANATION
The given equation is:

We complete the square to get the expression in standard form:


We factor using perfect squares to get:

This implies that,

Comparing to

The radius is r=4
A geometric sequence is a sequence in which there is a common ratio between any two consecutive terms. In this case if X:Y:Z are in the ratio of 2:7:8 the multiplying by a constant k, we have X=2k, Y= 7k and Z=8k.
Then if X, Y-12, Z form a Geometric sequence, it means X/Y-12=Y-12/Z which is the same as 2k/7k-12=7k-12/8k if we cross multply, we get
16k²= 49k²-168k +144
33k²-168k+144 =0 solving for k
k = 4 or 1.091 if we take the whole number to find the values of X,Y and z,
X= 8, Y= 28 and Z=32
If we factorize the expression

We will get

Answer:
the orange line is the reflection y=-1
The value of
is 31
Explanation:
The given expression is 
We need to determine the value of 
The value of
can be determined by substituting
in the expression 
Thus, we have,

Adding the terms, we have,

Thus, the value is 31.
Therefore, the simplified value of the expression by substituting
in the expression
is 31.
