Answer:

x ≤ (1+2a) / (a-1) where a > 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x–2)a ≤ x+1

x(a) -2(a) ≤ x + 1

ax -2a ≤ x + 1 (subtract x from both sides)

ax -2a - x ≤ 1 (add 2a to both sides)

ax - x ≤ 1 + 2a (factor out x from left side)

x (a - 1) ≤ 1 + 2a

x ≤ (1+2a) / (a-1) where a > 1

Answer:

An equation of the circle with centre (-2,1) and radius 3 is $\mathbf{(x+2)^2+(x-1)^2=9}$

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the figure we get centre of circle C (-2,1) and radius of circle r = 3

The equation of circle is of form: $(x-h)^2+(x-k)^2=r^2$ where (h,k) is centre and r is radius.

We have centre C (-2,1) so, we have h = -2 and k = 1

We have radius = 3 so, r = 3

Putting values in the equation and finding the required equation:

$(x-h)^2+(x-k)^2=r^2\\(x-(-2))^2+(x-1)^2=(3)^2\\(x+2)^2+(x-1)^2=9$

So, an equation of the circle with centre (-2,1) and radius 3 is $\mathbf{(x+2)^2+(x-1)^2=9}$

Option D is correct.
