Identify the radius and center.
x^2 + y^2 + 4y -21 =0

radius 5

center (0,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal is to get to .

We will need to complete the square for both parts.

That is we need to use:

.

First step is group the x's and y's together and put the constant on the opposing side.  The x's and y's are already together.  So we need to add 21 on both sides:

Now the x part is already done.

If you compare y^2+4y to

on the left side we have b is 4 so we need to add (4/2)^2 on both sides of .

Now we can write the y part as something squared still using my completing the square formula:

The center is (0,-2) and radius is

The answer is:

Center: (0,-2)

Radius: 2.5 units.

To solve the problem, using the given formula of a circle, we need to find its standard equation form which is equal to:

Where,

"h" and "k"are the coordinates of the center of the circle and "r" is its radius.

So, we need to complete the square for both variable "x" and "y".

The given equation is:

So, solving we have:

Now, we have that:

So,

Center: (0,-2)

Radius: 5 units.

Have a nice day!

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
