Question

y=√(x^2+25^2)

Answer 1

You get a half circle that's the top half of
x^2+y^2=25^2
which is a circle centered at the origin with a radius of 25.

Answer 2

Wait what? It just says to solve so I don't know what that means.

Answer 3

You can't solve an equation with two variables. That makes no sense at all. Are they asking you to solve for x?

Answer 4

I'll copy the exact question:

Answer 5

A tether is being attached to a 25-foot pole in such a way that x+y=50. By the Pythagorean theorem, the distance y=√(x^2+25^2). What must x be?

Sorry if the x+y=50 affects the problem, I thought it was irrelevant.

Answer 6

Of course it effects the problem, lemme solve it now 0.o

Answer 7

unfornuately, I can't do the problem without a basic picture, because I have no idea what x and y are.

Answer 8

That's the pic they give you.
