Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a circle centred at the point P(-4,-6) and passing through the point
R(2,2).
To find its equation, we follow these steps.
Step 1: Determine its radius, r using the distance formula
For point P(-4,-6) and R(2,2)
Step 2: Determine the equation
The general form of the equation of a circle passing through point (h,k) with a radius of r is given as:
Centre,(h,k)=P(-4,-6)
r=10
Therefore, the equation of the circle is:
There will be four ways a circle and a parabola can intersect because the solution of the quartic equation will be 4.
<h3>What is a circle?</h3>It is described as a set of points, where each point is at the same distance from a fixed point (called the center of a circle)
We have a circle and a parabola:
As we know the standard form of a circle:
The standard form of the parabola:
If we plug the value of y from the parabola equation in the circle equation, we get a quartic equation(4th order equation)
The solution of the quartic equation will be 4.
Thus, there will be four ways a circle and a parabola can intersect because the solution of the quartic equation will be 4.
