1) use the distance formula to find that the radius (r) of the circle = 5
2) use the midpoint formula to find that the center of the circle (h,k) = (3, 0)
3) Now use the formula of a circle and input the (h,k) and r to create:
(x - 3)² + (y - 0)² = 5² → (x - 3)² + y² = 25
4) input the "x" value given in the question (x = 0) and solve for "y":
(0 - 3)² + y² = 25 → 9 + y² = 25 → y² = 16 → y = +/- 4
Since the question states that "b" must be positive, you can disregard the -4.
Answer: b = 4
The answer is D. It does not satisfy the second equation because 0 is not greater than 1.
An equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides and angles. Each angle is
60 degrees.
