Answer

We graph the lower part by graphing $y=2-\sqrt{9-(x+1)^{2}}$ (See below for alternative.)

Work Step by Step

Complete the squares $(x^{2}+2x)=(x^{2}+2x+1)-1=(x+1)^{2}-1$ $4y-y^{2}=-(y^{2}-4y+2^{2}-2^{2})=-(y-2)^{2}+4$ Rewrite the given equation, and solve for y. $(x+1)^{2}-1=4-(y-2)^{2}+4$ $(y-2)^{2}=9-(x+1)^{2}$ $y-2=\pm\sqrt{9-(x+1)^{2}}$ $y=2\pm\sqrt{9-(x+1)^{2}}$ and we graph the lower part by graphing $y=2-\sqrt{9-(x+1)^{2}}$ Note: with calculators such as desmos, there is an alternate way: We find from above, that the equation is equivalent to $(x+1)^{2}+(y-2)^{2}=9$ (circle centered at (-1,2), radius 3.) Place a restriction on y, allowing y to be 2 or below 2. See below.
