The equation of a circle is:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

So the first thing we can do is to find the center of the circle, which will be at the midpoint of the two endpoints of the diameter.  The midpoint is simply the average of the coordinates of the endpoints.

mp=((-1+3)/2, (-4+2)/2)

mp=(1, -1), and this midpoint is the center of the circle our (h,k) for the circle equation.

Now we must find the length of the diameter so that we can know what our radius is.  The distance between any two points is:

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 so

d^2=(-1-3)^2+(-4-2)^2

d^2=4^2+6^2

d^2=16+36

d^2=52

Note that this distance squared is our diameter squared.

Since d=2r

d^2=4r^2

r^2=d^2/4, we showed that d^2=52 so

r^2=52/4 

r^2=13  (r=√13, but we need r^2 for our equation anyway)

So now we can fill out our circle equation because we know the center is at (1,-1) are r^2=13

(x-1)^2+(y+1)^2=13

NEED MATH HELP NOW. Please solve for x-intercept.
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

(1, 0) and (3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x²-8x+6

x- intercept when y=0

  • 2x²-8x+6=0
  • x²-4x+4=1
  • (x-2)²=1
  • x-2=1 ⇒ x= 3
  • x-2= -1 ⇒ x= 1
