A positive real number is 4 less than another. if the sum of the squares of the two numbers is 72, then find the numbers

x+4=72

x=72-4

x=68

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be one number and 4 be anothe number then sum of the two number be x and 4

center (1,3) with radius 6

step-by-step explanation:

we must complete the square to find the center and radius of the circle.

first make sure the x and y squared terms have 1 as their coefficients. we also make sure x and y terms together.

we now create space between the x and y terms with parenthesis.

we complete the square by taking the middle terms -2x and the -6y - divide each and square them.

we add the squares to both sides.

simplify.

and write the quadratics in factored form.

the center is (h,k) or (1,3). the radius is the square root of 36 which is 6.
