Question 7
Ben writes the equation of the circle with center (1, -3) and radius 6 in the form
Ar? + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F= 0 . His value of A is 1. What are his values of D and F?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The value of D is 6 and the value of F is -26.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The center of the circle is at (1, -3), and its radius is 6 units.

The best way to find the general form of the circle, it's to use the center-radius form

[tex](x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}[/tex]

In this case, [tex]h=1[/tex], [tex]k=-3[/tex] and [tex]r=6[/tex]. Replacing all these values in the formula, we have

[tex](x-1)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=6^{2}[/tex]

Now, we solve each power

[tex]x^{2} -2x+1+y^{2} +6y+9=36\\x^{2} +y^{2} -2x+6y+10-36=0\\x^{2} +y^{2} -2x+6y-26=0[/tex]

Where:

[tex]C=-2\\D=6\\E=-26[/tex]

However, Ben wrote the expression with F as the constant. So,

[tex]E=F=-26[/tex]

Therefore, the value of D is 6 and the value of F is -26.
