Write the equation of the circle whose center is (-4,8) and has a diameter of 18

Mathematics

Answer:

(x + 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 81

or

(x + 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 9^2 depending on how your teacher wants it written.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a circle is

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

r is the radius.

You are given the diameter

r = d/2

r = 18/2

r = 9

So you already have the right hand side of the equation

(x + h)^2 + (y + k)^2 = 9*2

(x + h)^2 + (y + k)^2 = 81

You basically have h and k as well. They come from the center point.

h = 4

k = - 8

So the equation of the circle (and the answer) is

(x + 4)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 81

One question remains. Why do the x and y values change signs? If you know what the distance formula is, then what you are finding is the distance r of all points on the circle from the center of the circle.

It is the distance formula that is actually the formula for the circle.

Describe and correct the error in finding DC
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

DC = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The wrong equation was used.

The right equation to use based on the midsegment theorem of a trapezoid is:

MN = ½(AB + DC)

MN = 8

AB = 14

Substitute

8 = ½(14 + DC)

Multiply both sides by 2

8*2 = ½(14 + DC)*2

2*8 = 14 + DC

16 = 14 + DC

16 - 14 = 14 + DC - 14

2 = DC

DC = 2

Whats 2x + y = 10 5x - y = 18 in elimination method
Naya [18.7K]
2x + y = 10
5x - y = 18

7x = 28

x = 4

2(4) + y = 10

8 + y = 10

y = 2
