Answer:
I'm not really sure what the question might be asking or if I've been given all the information but this is how you would solve it as (-2,4] meaning any real number between these will give you a real x on the domain.

Answer:
a. (1.4, 2.6)
b. (3, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The circumcenter is the intersection point of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle.
For points X(a, b) and Y(c, d), the perpendicular bisector of XY can be written as ...
(c -a)(x -(c+a)/2) +(d -b)(y -(d+b)/2) = 0
Then the equation of the perpendicular bisector of MN is ...
(-2-4)(x -(-2+4)/2) +(4-0)(y -(4+0)/2) = 0
-6(x -1) +4(y -2) = 0
3x -2y = -1 . . . . divide by -2 and put in standard form
Similarly, the perpendicular bisector of NO is ...
(0-(-2))(x -(0-2)/2) +(6 -4)(y -(6+4)/2) = 0
2(x +1) +2(y -5) = 0
x + y = 4 . . . . divide by 2 and put in standard form
So, the point of intersection is ...
(3x -2y) +2(x +y) = (-1) +2(4) . . . . . add twice the 2nd equation to the 1st
5x = 7 . . . . . . simplify
x = 1.4 . . . . . . divide by 5
y = 4-1.4 = 2.6 . . . . . find y from the second equation
The coordinates of the circumcenter are (1.4, 2.6).

b. The centroid is the average of the vertex coordinates.
centroid = (A +B +C)/3 = ((1, 2) +(3, 4) +(5, 0))/3 = (1+3+5, 2+4+0)/3 = (9, 6)/3
centroid = (3, 2)
