Determine if the graph of the equation below is a parabola, circle, ellipse, hyperbola, point, line, two lines, or empty. Enter the most specific answer.

\((x-3)^2 + y^2 = 10\)

 

Thank you for helping! smiley

you should be able to work this out very easily for yourself.

 

Try putting it into here and see what happens

(x - 3)^2  + y^2  =  10

 

x^2 - 6x  + 9  + y^2  =  10

 

1x^2   + 1 y^2  - 6x   - 1   =   0

 

When  we have the form

 

Ax^2  + By^2  +  Cx   + Dy  +  E    =   0

 

If A  = B      (and E  is negative)     then we  have a circle

It was already in the most obvious form Chris.

 

\((x-3)^2+y^2 =\sqrt{10}^2\\ centre(3,0)\;\;radius \sqrt{10}\)

 

If the kid looked at his formula notes.

Or if he went to desmos and graphed it, he would have known that.

 

I give partial answers for good reasons.

I will try to work it out by myself next time.
