Answer:

 - The scientist can use these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.

- The scientist can substitute these measurements into cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star (which would be the hypotenuse of the righ triangle).

Step-by-step explanation:

 You can observe in the figure attached that  "AC" is the distance between the Sun and the shooting star.

Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Sun "y" and the angle x°,  the scientist can use only these two measurements to calculate the distance between the Sun and the shooting star by applying one of the trigonometric functions: Cosine of an angle.

 This is:

cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

In this case:

\alpha=x\°\\\\adjacent=BC=y\\\\hypotenuse=AC

Therefore, the scientist can substitute these measurements into cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} , and solve for the distance between the Sun and the shooting star "AC":

cos(x\°)=\frac{y}{AC}

AC=\frac{y}{cos(x\°)}

find the centre and radius of the following Cycles 9 x square + 9 y square +27 x + 12 y + 19 equals 0​
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Radius: r =\frac{\sqrt {21}}{6}

Center = (-\frac{3}{2}, -\frac{2}{3})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

9x^2 + 9y^2 + 27x + 12y + 19 = 0

Solving (a): The radius of the circle

First, we express the equation as:

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

Where

r = radius

(h,k) =center

So, we have:

9x^2 + 9y^2 + 27x + 12y + 19 = 0

Divide through by 9

x^2 + y^2 + 3x + \frac{12}{9}y + \frac{19}{9} = 0

Rewrite as:

x^2  + 3x + y^2+ \frac{12}{9}y =- \frac{19}{9}

Group the expression into 2

[x^2  + 3x] + [y^2+ \frac{12}{9}y] =- \frac{19}{9}

[x^2  + 3x] + [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}

Next, we complete the square on each group.

For [x^2  + 3x]

1: Divide the coefficient\ of\ x\ by\ 2

2: Take the square\ of\ the\ division

3: Add this square\ to\ both\ sides\ of\ the\ equation.

So, we have:

[x^2  + 3x] + [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}

[x^2  + 3x + (\frac{3}{2})^2] + [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2

Factorize

[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2

Apply the same to y

[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y +(\frac{4}{6})^2 ] =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2 +(\frac{4}{6})^2

[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2 +(\frac{4}{6})^2

[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =- \frac{19}{9}+ \frac{9}{4} +\frac{16}{36}

Add the fractions

[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =\frac{-19 * 4 + 9 * 9 + 16 * 1}{36}

[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =\frac{21}{36}

[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =\frac{7}{12}

[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{2}{3}]^2 =\frac{7}{12}

Recall that:

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

By comparison:

r^2 =\frac{7}{12}

Take square roots of both sides

r =\sqrt{\frac{7}{12}}

Split

r =\frac{\sqrt 7}{\sqrt 12}

Rationalize

r =\frac{\sqrt 7*\sqrt 12}{\sqrt 12*\sqrt 12}

r =\frac{\sqrt {84}}{12}

r =\frac{\sqrt {4*21}}{12}

r =\frac{2\sqrt {21}}{12}

r =\frac{\sqrt {21}}{6}

Solving (b): The center

Recall that:

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

Where

r = radius

(h,k) =center

From:

[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{2}{3}]^2 =\frac{7}{12}

-h = \frac{3}{2} and -k = \frac{2}{3}

Solve for h and k

h = -\frac{3}{2} and k = -\frac{2}{3}

Hence, the center is:

Center = (-\frac{3}{2}, -\frac{2}{3})
