Answer:
Center: (4,8)
Radius: 2.5
Equation:
Step-by-step explanation:
It was given that; the endpoints of the longest chord on a circle are (4, 5.5) and (4, 10.5).
Note that the longest chord is the diameter;
The midpoint of the ends of the diameter gives us the center;
Use the midpoint formula;
The center is at;
To find the radius, use the distance formula to find the distance from the center to one of the endpoints.
The distance formula is;
The equation of the circle in standard form is given by;
We substitute the center and the radius into the formula to get;
Answer:
k = - , k = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac
The condition for equal roots is b² - 4ac = 0
Given
kx² + 2x + k = - kx ( add kx to both sides )
kx² + 2x + kx + k = 0 , that is
kx² + (2 + k)x + k = 0 ← in standard form
with a = k, b = 2 + k and c = k , thus
(2 + k)² - 4k² = 0 ← expand and simplify left side
4 + 4k + k² - 4k² = 0
- 3k² + 4k + 4 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )
3k² - 4k - 4 = 0 ← in standard form
(3k + 2)(k - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for k
3k + 2 = 0 ⇒ 3k = - 2 ⇒ k = -
k - 2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2
