We know that:

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

is an equation of a circle.

When we substitute x and y (from the pairs we have), we'll get a system of equations:

\begin{cases}(-1-a)^2+(2-b)^2=r^2\\(0-a)^2+(1-b)^2=r^2\\(-2-a)^2+(-1-b)^2=r^2\end{cases}

and all we have to do is solve it for a, b and r.

There will be:

\begin{cases}(-1-a)^2+(2-b)^2=r^2\\(0-a)^2+(1-b)^2=r^2\\(-2-a)^2+(-1-b)^2=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
\begin{cases}1+2a+a^2+4-4b+b^2=r^2\\a^2+1-2b+b^2=r^2\\4+4a+a^2+1+2b+b^2=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
\begin{cases}a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5=r^2\\a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\a^2+b^2+4a+2b+5=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\


From equations (II) and (III) we have:

\begin{cases}a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\a^2+b^2+4a+2b+5=r^2\end{cases}\\--------------(-)\\\\a^2+b^2-2b+1-a^2-b^2-4a-2b-5=r^2-r^2\\\\-4a-4b-4=0\qquad|:(-4)\\\\\boxed{-a-b-1=0}

and from (I) and (II):

\begin{cases}a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5=r^2\\a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\end{cases}\\--------------(-)\\\\a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5-a^2-b^2+2b-1=r^2-r^2\\\\2a-2b+4=0\qquad|:2\\\\\boxed{a-b+2=0}

Now we can easly calculate a and b:

\begin{cases}-a-b-1=0\\a-b+2=0\end{cases}\\--------(+)\\\\-a-b-1+a-b+2=0+0\\\\-2b+1=0\\\\-2b=-1\qquad|:(-2)\\\\\boxed{b=\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\\\\a-b+2=0\\\\\\a-\dfrac{1}{2}+2=0\\\\\\a+\dfrac{3}{2}=0\\\\\\\boxed{a=-\frac{3}{2}}

Finally we calculate r^2:

a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\\\\\\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2-2\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}+1=r^2\\\\\\\dfrac{9}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-1+1=r^2\\\\\\\dfrac{10}{4}=r^2\\\\\\\boxed{r^2=\frac{5}{2}}

And the equation of the circle is:

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\\\\\\\left(x-\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\\\\boxed{\left(x+\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{5}{2}}

Please help. Don’t understand this math problem!!!
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

1). Option (C)

2). Option (A). degree of 3 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial having one term is called 'Monomial' in algebraic terms.

3 is a number that is a polynomial with a single term.

Therefore, the given expression is a polynomial.

Hence Option (C) is the answer.

3 can be written as 3x⁰ (Since x⁰ = 1)

Therefore, degree of the polynomial is 0.

Option (A). degree of the polynomial = 0
