Find the Domain x^2+y^2=25

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 25$

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

$y^{2} = 25 - x^{2}$

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

$y = \pm \sqrt{25 - x^{2}}$

Simplify $\pm \sqrt{25 - x^{2}}$ .

Rewrite $25$ as $5^{2}$ .

$y = \pm \sqrt{5^{2} - x^{2}}$

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, $a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)$ where $a = 5$ and $b = x$ .

$y = \pm \sqrt{(5 + x) (5 - x)}$

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.

$y = \sqrt{(5 + x) (5 - x)}$

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

$y = - \sqrt{(5 + x) (5 - x)}$

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

$y = \sqrt{(5 + x) (5 - x)}$

$y = - \sqrt{(5 + x) (5 - x)}$

$y = \sqrt{(5 + x) (5 - x)}$

$y = - \sqrt{(5 + x) (5 - x)}$

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{(5 + x) (5 - x)}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$(5 + x) (5 - x) \geq 0$

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 $0$ .

$5 + x = 0$

$5 - x = 0$

Set $5 + x$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $5 + x$ equal to $0$ .

$5 + x = 0$

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = - 5$

Set $5 - x$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $5 - x$ equal to $0$ .

$5 - x = 0$

Solve $5 - x = 0$ for $x$ .

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$- x = - 5$

Divide each term in $- x = - 5$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- x = - 5$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- x}{- 1} = \frac{- 5}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{x}{1} = \frac{- 5}{- 1}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 5}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 5$ by $- 1$ .

$x = 5$

The final solution is all the values that make $(5 + x) (5 - x) \geq 0$ true.

$x = - 5, 5$

Use each root to create test intervals.

$x < - 5$

$- 5 < x < 5$

$x > 5$

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 $x < - 5$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $x < - 5$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = - 8$

Replace $x$ with $- 8$ in the original inequality.

$(5 - 8) (5 - (- 8)) \geq 0$

The left side $- 39$ is less than the right side $0$ , which means that the given statement is false.

False

Test a value on the interval $- 5 < x < 5$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $- 5 < x < 5$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = 0$

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

$(5 + 0) (5 - (0)) \geq 0$

The left side $25$ is greater than the right side $0$ , which means that the given statement is always true.

True

Test a value on the interval $x > 5$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $x > 5$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = 8$

Replace $x$ with $8$ in the original inequality.

$(5 + 8) (5 - (8)) \geq 0$

The left side $- 39$ 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.

$x < - 5$ False

$- 5 < x < 5$ True

$x > 5$ False

$x < - 5$ False

$- 5 < x < 5$ True

$x > 5$ False

The solution consists of all of the true intervals.

$- 5 \leq x \leq 5$

The domain is all values of $x$ that make the expression defined.
