The equation x2 y2 2x 6y 10 0 represents a circle Find
The equation x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 6y + 10 = 0 represents a circle. Find the center. Find the radius. Let f(x) = squareroot x + 4 and g(x) = x^2 + 3. Find (f g)(x). Find (g f)(x).
Solution
1) .given x^2 +y^2 -2x +6y +10=0
we can rewrite the equation as
x^2 -2x + y^2 +6y =10
now add and subtract 1
x^2 -2x +1 + y^2 +6y -1 =10
now x^2 -2x +1 can be wrriten as (x-1)^2
by the fromule (a-b)^2 =a^2 -2ab +b^2
so the equation becomes
(x-1)^2 +y^2 +6x -1 =10
now add and subtract 9
(x-1)^2 +y^2 +6x + 9 -9 -1 =10
(x-1)^2 +(y+3)^2 -10 =10
(x-1)^2 + (y+3)^2 =10+10
(x-1)^2 + (y+3)^2 =20
this is of the form
(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2
where (a,b) is the center and r=radius
so center (1,-3)
and r^2 = 20
r = sqrt(20)
r = 2 sqrt(5)
please ask second question again
