Answer:

x = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it easier to solve the equation, which requires 1 operation. Substituting 3 numbers requires 3 operations, so is 3 times the work. (I'm basically lazy.)

4x = 256 . . . . given

x = 256/4 = 64 . . . . the last of the listed values

Alternatively, you can let a graphing calculator or spreadsheet try the list of values for you. That result is attached.

_____

Since you know the rules of signed multiplication, you know that x must be positive. Only one answer choice is positive, so you really only need to try one number.

4(64) = 256 . . . . true, so x = 64

As we know that the standard equation of circle is ${\bf{(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}}}$ , where r is the radius of circle and centre at (h,k) 

Now , as the circle passes through (2,9) so it must satisfy the above equation after putting the values of h and k respectively

${:\implies \quad \sf \{2-(-1)\}^{2}+(9-5)^{2}=r^{2}}$
