Answer:

The location of the new cell phone tower is (h,k) = (3,4), and the equation of the circle is x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the cell phone tower coincides with the location of a circunference passing through the three cell phone towers. By Analytical Geometry, the equation of the circle is represented by the following general formula:

x^{2} + y^{2}+A\cdot x + B\cdot y +C = 0 (1)

Where:

x - Independent variable.

y - Dependent variable.

A, B, C - Circunference constants.

Given the number of variable, we need the location of three distinct points:

(x_{1},y_{1}) = (6,0)

36 +6\cdot A + C = 0

(x_{2},y_{2}) = (8,4)

80 + 8\cdot A + 4\cdot B + C = 0

(x_{3},y_{3}) = (3,9)

90 + 3\cdot A + 9\cdot B + C = 0

Then, we have the following system of linear equations:

6\cdot A + C = -36 (2)

8\cdot A +4\cdot B + C = -80 (3)

3\cdot A + 9\cdot B + C = -90 (4)

The solution of this system is:

A = -6, B = -8, C = 0

By comparing the general form with the standard form of the equation of the circunference is:

A = -2\cdot h (5)

B = -2\cdot k (6)

C = h^{2}+k^{2}-r^{2} (7)

Where:

h, k - Coordinates of the center of the circle.

r - Radius of the circle.

If we know that A = -6, B = -8 and C = 0, then coordinates of the center of the circle and its radius are, respectively:

h = -\frac{A}{2}

k = -\frac{B}{2}

r = \sqrt{h^{2}+k^{2}-C}

h = 3, k = 4, r = 5

The location of the new cell phone tower is (h,k) = (3,4), and the equation of the circle is x^{2}+y^{2} -6\cdot x - 8\cdot y = 0.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

145

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2 , y= 5

Putting the values of x and y in the expression

=3(2) (5)^2-5

=3(2)(25)-5

=150 -5

=145
