Answer:
Complete the square on x by adding 49 to both sides.
Complete the square on y by adding 81 to both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given an equation [tex](x^2+14x)+(y^2+18y)=5[/tex]. We are asked to complete the squares for both x and y.
We know to complete a square, we add the half the square of coefficient of x or y term.
Upon looking at our given equation, we can see that coefficient of x is 14 and coefficient of y is 18.
[tex](\frac{14}{2})^2=7^2=49[/tex]
[tex](\frac{18}{2})^2=9^2=81[/tex]
Now, we will add 49 to complete the x term square and 81 to complete y term square on both sides of our given equation as:
[tex](x^2+14x+49)+(y^2+18y+81)=5+49+81[/tex]
Applying the perfect square formula [tex]a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2[/tex], we will get:
[tex](x+7)^2+(y+9)^2=135[/tex]
Therefore, We can complete the square on x by adding 49 to both sides and the square on y by adding 81 to both sides.
