find the coordinates of the circle's center ......

OpenStudy (angela210793):

B(?;?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your question may be rephrased what is f(x) or what is y when x is 1. As a check what is f(x), or what is y when x is -1?

OpenStudy (angela210793):

is x=+-1? O.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0,1/4

OpenStudy (angela210793):

O.o Will u explain me how did u get that? Please???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same technique get y in terms of x from the 2nd equation,replca y in the first equation thenb solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw there is something weird going on my posts are showing up in 3 questions at once

OpenStudy (angela210793):

idk wht 2 say abt tht....

OpenStudy (angela210793):

w8 a sec...wht 2nd equation? O.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation of the circle must be x^2 + (y - b) = 1 since the circle must lie on the y axes due to symmtry and we don't know the y co-ordinate of the centre(we'll call it b)

OpenStudy (angela210793):

shouldn't (y-b) b squared?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now y = x^2 the resulting quadratic after subsitution can only have 1 root therefor D = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry typing error

OpenStudy (angela210793):

Definitely I'm very stupid at maths....:(:(:( :'(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't worry I bet you're great at something else

OpenStudy (angela210793):

^_^ Thanks ^_^ I got an idea...will u lend me ur brain only 4 1 day (15/06) i have a math exam...I'll give it back..SWEAR!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ha ha ha ... wish I could do that ... but alas

OpenStudy (angela210793):

Yea..poor me....:(:( :'( :'( ...i guess i have to squeeze out my brain for a loong time till i learn these very well :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When y=1/4, x=+/- 1/2. Doesn't hold a 1 unit radius?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gtg guys best of luck angela

OpenStudy (angela210793):

thnx ^_^
