The general equation given is x^2 - 4x + y^2 = -3. Transform this to an equation of a circle of the form x^2 + y^2 = r^2.
Use completing the square method:
x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 = -3 + 4
(x - 2)^2 + y^2 = 1
the center of the circle is (2,0) and r = 1
To check if it intersects the y axis, find the value of the x-intercept.
Answer:
5 yr and 39 yr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the age of the younger
then 7x + 4 = the age of the older
Now x + 7x + 4 = 44
8x + 4 = 44
8x = 40
x = 5
7x + 4 = 7(5) + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39
Check: 5 + 39 = 44
C; the first and last letters in each group is connected, after U and V being first and last it should be W and X being first and last.
