Find the standard equation of the circle defined by the equation x^2 + y^2 +8x - 12y + 43 = 0. ANSWERS ATTACHED, due in 2 HOURS, will give Brainliest!

Solution: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Our goal here is to factor the expression such that it is converted into the circle equation (x - a)² + (y - b)² = r² where r = radius centered at point (a,b).

(Factor the expression "x² + 8x")

(Factor the expression "y² - 12y")

That leaves us with the expression , or in other words . As you can see our solution is option c.

step-by-step explanation:

given expression is .

now we need to simplify the given expression .

we know that square root is equivalent to the power 1/2. so that means we can take half of the exponents to get the square root of given expression.

expanding that will give a very very large number so let's keep answer in exponent form.
