Find the center and the radius of the circle with the equation:

x2 + 2x + y2 – 2y - 14 = 0

a. center: (1,-1)

C. center: (2,-2)

radius: 4

radius: 14

b. center: (-1,1)

d. center: (-2,2)

radius: 4

radius: 14

Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answer :

Answer:

[tex] (x+1)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 16[/tex]

And the general formula for a circle is given by this expression:

[tex] (x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2 = r^2[/tex]

With the center (h,k) and the radius r. If we compare this general expression with the formula that we obtain in (1) we see that :

[tex] h = -1, k =1 , r =4[/tex]

So then the best solution for this cae would be:

b. center: (-1,1)

radius =4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following equation given:

[tex] x^2 +2x + y^2 -2y -14=0[/tex]

And we can complete the squares for this case like this:

[tex] x^2 +2x +(2/2)^2 +y^2 -2y +(2/2)^2 =14 +1+1[/tex]

[tex] (x^2 +2x +1) +(y^2 -2y +1) =16[/tex]

Now we can rewrite the last expression like this:

[tex] (x+1)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 16[/tex]

And the general formula for a circle is given by this expression:

[tex] (x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2 = r^2[/tex]

With the center (h,k) and the radius r. If we compare this general expression with the formula that we obtain in (1) we see that :

[tex] h = -1, k =1 , r =4[/tex]

So then the best solution for this cae would be:

b. center: (-1,1)

radius =4

Answer:

B. Center: (-1,1)

radius: 4
