Answer:
a) The center coordinates O is (0,0)
b) The radius C = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation of the circle is :
Now, general form of the equation of the circle is:
where (h,k) are the center co -ordinates and r is the radius of the circle.
Comparing the general equation with the given equation, we get
So, here the center coordinates (h,k) = (0,0)
And the radius of the given circle is r = 15
We have 2 denominators that we need to get rid of. Whenever there are the denominators, all we have to do is multiply all whole equation with the denominators.
Our denominators are both 2 and x+1. Therefore, we multiply the whole equation by 2(x+1)
Then shorten the fractions.
Distribute in all.
We should get like this. Because the polynomial is 2-degree, I'd suggest you to move all terms to one place. Therefore, moving 2x+2 to another side and subtract.
We are almost there. All we have to do is, solving for x by factoring. (Although there are more than just factoring but factoring this polynomial is faster.)
Thus, the answer is x = 3, -2
