Homework Statement
A circle of maximal area is inscribed in the region bounded by the graph of y = -x^2-7x+12 and the x axis. The radius of this circle is of the form (sqrt(p) + q)/r where, p, q and r are integers and are relatively prime.What is p+q+r
Homework Equations
Vertex form a(x-h)^2+k i believe
The Attempt at a Solution
So i found the vertex, then i assumed that is one point on the circle, and the other is at (same x,0) then shifted along that but i don't seem to get it of the form sqrtp+q all over r
