Homework Statement


Use a double integral to find the area of the region D, where

D={(x,y) contained in R2 | 4x2+12xy+13y2+40y<=-75}

Hint: complete the square
I have a hard time getting the region, i should complete the square to get a formula in R2 that describes the region, i tried to do complete the square but it comes something like this:
(2x+3y)2 + 4(y+5)2=25

this does not make sense it look weird, i am not sure how to get this area. please help

yes i have tried that but, I am not suppose to use any calculators. just by hand there fore some how i must factor not sure how
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
