Question

Latanya was asked to determine if (375,4) lies on the circle with radius 7 centered at (0.-2). what is her error?

Answer 1

The point (3/5,4) would lie on the circle if it makes the equation of the circle to be true

Latansha's equation of the circle is wrong

How to determine her error?

The given parameters are:

Center = (a,b) = (0,-2)

Radius, r = 7

The equation of a circle is:

$(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = 0$

This gives

$(x - 0)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 0$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 0$

In Latanya's first step, we have:

$x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 0$

By comparing her first step with x^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 0, we can see that her equation is wrong

Hence, Latansha's error is that she determine the equation of the circle, wrongly.
