1) r=5units
Let's see why:
First rearrange the terms to make it easier to work with:
x2−12x+y2+6y=−20
I have grouped the x- and y-containing terms together. Now, we must use a method called completing the square. In a quadratic term, the equation is ax^2+bx+c=0. In the above equation, however, there is no c-term. To find the missing c-term, do (b/2)^2.
x2−12x+(b12)2+y2+6y+(b22)2=−20+(b12)2+(b22)2 Remember, whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other.
x2−12x+(−122)2+y2+6y+(62)2=−20+(−122)2+(62)2 Substituting the values
x2−12x+36+y2+6y+9=−20+36+9
x2−12x+36+y2+6y+9=25
Okay, we have manipulating the equation so that the number on the right side of the equation is the r^2, You need not go further with the simplification of this problem as it is only asking for the radius length. We have enough information for this
r2=25
r=5unitsOf course, include units in the final answer.
2) C=(1,3).
Here's why:
Just like the previous problem, I will rearrange the terms, so the equation ios easier to handle:
x2−2x+y2−6y=−1
We will use the same process as the previous problem:
x2−2x+(b12)2+y2−6y+(b12)2=−1+(b12)2+(b22)2
x2−2x+(−22)2+y2−6y+(−62)2=−1+(−22)2+(−62)2
x2−2x+1+y2−6y+9=−1+1+9
x2−2x+1+y2−6y+9=9
In this case, the problem is asking for the center of the circle. The standard form for a circle is (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
, where (h,k) is the center of the circle. However, we still need to manipulate the equation further. :Luckily, x^2+2x+1 and y^2-6y+9 are both perfect square trinomials, which means that they can be represented as (x+(b/2))^2 and (y+(b/2))^2.
(x+b12)2+(y+b22)2=9The number that goes for b is always the b coefficient in quadratics.
(x+−22)2+(y+−62)2=9Substituting
(x−1)2+(y−3)2=9Finally, after all this work, we have gotten to the standard equation of a circle.
−1=−h,so h=1.
−3=−k,so k=3.
The center of a cricle is always (h,k),so the center, or C, is (1,3).
