Solution

Let's work through each problem step by step:

1. Find the center and radius of the circle and sketch its graph.

Given the equation:

9x2+36x+9y2+72y+155=69x^2 + 36x + 9y^2 + 72y + 155 = 6

First, we simplify this equation:

9(x2+4x)+9(y2+8y)+155=69(x^2 + 4x) + 9(y^2 + 8y) + 155 = 6

Subtract 155 from both sides:

9(x2+4x)+9(y2+8y)=1499(x^2 + 4x) + 9(y^2 + 8y) = -149

Now, divide the entire equation by 9:

x2+4x+y2+8y=1499x^2 + 4x + y^2 + 8y = -\frac{149}{9}

Next, complete the square for both xx and yy:

  • For xx, take half of 4 and square it: (4/2)2=4(4/2)^2 = 4.
  • For yy, take half of 8 and square it: (8/2)2=16(8/2)^2 = 16.

So, add and subtract these values inside the equation:

(x2+4x+4)+(y2+8y+16)=1499+4+16(x^2 + 4x + 4) + (y^2 + 8y + 16) = -\frac{149}{9} + 4 + 16

(x+2)2+(y+4)2=149+1809=319(x + 2)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = \frac{-149 + 180}{9} = \frac{31}{9}

Now, we have the equation of the circle in standard form:
