Find the Domain (x+2)^2+(y-4)^2=36

${(x + 2)}^{2} + {(y - 4)}^{2} = 36$

Step 1

Subtract ${(x + 2)}^{2}$ from both sides of the equation.

${(y - 4)}^{2} = 36 - {(x + 2)}^{2}$

Step 2

Take the specified root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{36 - {(x + 2)}^{2}}$

Step 3

Simplify $\pm \sqrt{36 - {(x + 2)}^{2}}$ .

Rewrite $36$ as $6^{2}$ .

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{6^{2} - {(x + 2)}^{2}}$

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, $a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)$ where $a = 6$ and $b = x + 2$ .

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{(6 + x + 2) (6 - (x + 2))}$

Simplify.

Add $6$ and $2$ .

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{(x + 8) (6 - (x + 2))}$

Apply the distributive property.

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{(x + 8) (6 - x - 1 \cdot 2)}$

Multiply $- 1$ by $2$ .

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{(x + 8) (6 - x - 2)}$

Subtract $2$ from $6$ .

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{(x + 8) (- x + 4)}$

Step 4

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$y - 4 = \sqrt{(x + 8) (- x + 4)}$

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = \sqrt{(x + 8) (- x + 4)} + 4$

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$y - 4 = - \sqrt{(x + 8) (- x + 4)}$

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = - \sqrt{(x + 8) (- x + 4)} + 4$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$y = \sqrt{(x + 8) (- x + 4)} + 4$

$y = - \sqrt{(x + 8) (- x + 4)} + 4$

$y = \sqrt{(x + 8) (- x + 4)} + 4$

$y = - \sqrt{(x + 8) (- x + 4)} + 4$

Step 5

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{(x + 8) (- x + 4)}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$(x + 8) (- x + 4) \geq 0$

Step 6

Solve for $x$ .

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to $0$ , the entire expression will be equal to $0$ .

$x + 8 = 0$

$- x + 4 = 0$

Set $x + 8$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $x + 8$ equal to $0$ .

$x + 8 = 0$

Subtract $8$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = - 8$

Set $- x + 4$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $- x + 4$ equal to $0$ .

$- x + 4 = 0$

Solve $- x + 4 = 0$ for $x$ .

Subtract $4$ from both sides of the equation.

$- x = - 4$

Divide each term in $- x = - 4$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- x = - 4$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- x}{- 1} = \frac{- 4}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{x}{1} = \frac{- 4}{- 1}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 4}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 4$ by $- 1$ .

$x = 4$

The final solution is all the values that make $(x + 8) (- x + 4) \geq 0$ true.

$x = - 8, 4$

Use each root to create test intervals.

$x < - 8$

$- 8 < x < 4$

$x > 4$

Choose a test value from each interval and plug this value into the original inequality to determine which intervals satisfy the inequality.

Test a value on the interval $x < - 8$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $x < - 8$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = - 10$

Replace $x$ with $- 10$ in the original inequality.

$((- 10) + 8) (- (- 10) + 4) \geq 0$

The left side $- 28$ is less than the right side $0$ , which means that the given statement is false.

False

Test a value on the interval $- 8 < x < 4$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $- 8 < x < 4$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = 0$

Replace $x$ with $0$ in the original inequality.

$((0) + 8) (- (0) + 4) \geq 0$

The left side $32$ is greater than the right side $0$ , which means that the given statement is always true.

True

Test a value on the interval $x > 4$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $x > 4$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = 6$

Replace $x$ with $6$ in the original inequality.

$((6) + 8) (- (6) + 4) \geq 0$

The left side $- 28$ is less than the right side $0$ , which means that the given statement is false.

False

Compare the intervals to determine which ones satisfy the original inequality.

$x < - 8$ False

$- 8 < x < 4$ True

$x > 4$ False

$x < - 8$ False

$- 8 < x < 4$ True

$x > 4$ False

The solution consists of all of the true intervals.

$- 8 \leq x \leq 4$
