Does the equation x2 - 4x + y2 = -3 intersect the x-axis?

Mathematics

romanna [79]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes, because the center is on the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write the equation in standard form by completing the square.

x2 - 4x + y2 = -3

x2 - 4x + 4 + y2 = -3 + 4

(x - 2)2 + y2 = 1

The circle is centered at (2, 0) with a radius of 1. Since the circle is centered on the x-axis, it intersects the x-axis two times, at (3, 0) and (1, 0).

To find out whether or not the equation x^2 - 4x + y^2 = -3 intersects the x-axis, we must set y = 0 in the equation (because at every point on the x-axis, y = 0). 

x^2 - 4x + 0 = -3

We then want to solve for x. We can do this by factoring.

x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0

By factoring...

(x - 3)(x - 1)

We can set each of these equations = 0 to solve where the function crosses the x-axis.

x - 3 = 0
x = 3

x - 1 = 0
x = 1

So we know at x = 1 and x = 3, the function x^2 - 4x + y^2 = -3 intersects the x-axis.

What number is half way between 6 and 24
Norma-Jean [14]
The number that is halfway between to others is their average value, that is, their sum divided by 2.
  (6 +24)/2 = 30/2 = 15

15 is halfway between 6 and 24.

Arlecino [84]
The sum is 160/(1-r)=1280 where r is the common ratio,
1/(1-r)=1280/160=8
Inverting we get 1-r=1/8, r=7/8.

-3+8x-5=-8 solve for x
Scrat [10]
Do you have any options? If not, try going with this method to help you understand this problem a little bit better :) Here we go! 

-3 + 8(x) - 5 {-8} = ? 

8(x) = ? You have to solve this to make it more "easier" if that makes sense
             
              From the looks of it you have to divide by the number, which we call 8

Since, we have only one solution in this problem, the value of "x" is 0 
x  = 0 

And not all one solution problem(s) always equal "0". .. it can equal any number sometimes 

Good Luck!

Vanessa is skiing along a circular ski trail that has a radius of 2.5 km. She starts at the 3-o'clock position and travels in th
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

1.05 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Vanessa is skiing along a circular ski trail that has a radius of 2.5 km. She starts at the 3-o'clock position and travels in the Counter Clockwise direction.

She stops skiing when she is 1.244 km to the right and 2.169 km above the center of the ski trail.

This can be represented as (1.244, 2.169) on a circle of radius 2.5 km.

From the coordinate point (1.244, 2.169) derived, x=1.244 and y=2.169.

By the definition of tangent,

\tan \theta =\frac{y}{x} \\\\\tan \theta =\dfrac{2.169}{1.244}\\\\ \theta=\arctan \dfrac{2.169}{1.244}\\\\\\ \theta=1.05006

Vanessa swept out approximately 1.05 radians since she started skiing.

How do we find x-intercept of rational function
Brilliant_brown [7]
You can find the x intercept of the equation by setting the value of y to zero and solving the equation. Similarly you can solve the y intercept by setting the value of x to zero and solving the equation. Now while solving this rational function for intercepts if you face a situation where the value in the denominator is zero it implies that there is no intercept in that case as dividing something by zero is indeterminate.
