Find the Domain (x-3)^2+(y-4)^2=25

${(x - 3)}^{2} + {(y - 4)}^{2} = 25$

Step 1

Subtract ${(x - 3)}^{2}$ from both sides of the equation.

${(y - 4)}^{2} = 25 - {(x - 3)}^{2}$

Step 2

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

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{25 - {(x - 3)}^{2}}$

Step 3

Simplify $\pm \sqrt{25 - {(x - 3)}^{2}}$ .

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

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{5^{2} - {(x - 3)}^{2}}$

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 $b = x - 3$ .

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{(5 + x - 3) (5 - (x - 3))}$

Simplify.

Subtract $3$ from $5$ .

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{(x + 2) (5 - (x - 3))}$

Apply the distributive property.

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{(x + 2) (5 - x - - 3)}$

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 3$ .

$y - 4 = \pm \sqrt{(x + 2) (5 - x + 3)}$

Add $5$ and $3$ .

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

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.

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

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation.

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

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

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

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Step 5

Set the radicand in $\sqrt{(x + 2) (- x + 8)}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$(x + 2) (- x + 8) \geq 0$

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 $0$ .

$x + 2 = 0$

$- x + 8 = 0$

Set $x + 2$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $x + 2$ equal to $0$ .

$x + 2 = 0$

Subtract $2$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = - 2$

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

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

$- x + 8 = 0$

Solve $- x + 8 = 0$ for $x$ .

Subtract $8$ from both sides of the equation.

$- x = - 8$

Divide each term in $- x = - 8$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- x = - 8$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- x}{- 1} = \frac{- 8}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{x}{1} = \frac{- 8}{- 1}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 8}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 8$ by $- 1$ .

$x = 8$

The final solution is all the values that make $(x + 2) (- x + 8) \geq 0$ true.

$x = - 2, 8$

Use each root to create test intervals.

$x < - 2$

$- 2 < x < 8$

$x > 8$

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 $x < - 2$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $x < - 2$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = - 4$

Replace $x$ with $- 4$ in the original inequality.

$((- 4) + 2) (- (- 4) + 8) \geq 0$

The left side $- 24$ is less than the right side $0$ , which means that the given statement is false.

False

Test a value on the interval $- 2 < x < 8$ to see if it makes the inequality true.

Choose a value on the interval $- 2 < x < 8$ and see if this value makes the original inequality true.

$x = 0$

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

$((0) + 2) (- (0) + 8) \geq 0$

The left side $16$ is greater than the right side $0$ , which means that the given statement is always true.

True

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.

$((10) + 2) (- (10) + 8) \geq 0$

The left side $- 24$ 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.

$x < - 2$ False

$- 2 < x < 8$ True

$x > 8$ False

$x < - 2$ False

$- 2 < x < 8$ True

$x > 8$ False

The solution consists of all of the true intervals.

$- 2 \leq x \leq 8$
