The equation (x+6)^2+(y+4)^2=36 models the position and range of the source of a radio signal. Describe the position of the source and the range of the signals

Question

anonymous · Answer

man they really reach for these word problems don't they?
you have a circle

parthkohli · Answer

$ \color{Black}{\Rightarrow (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 }$

$r$ is the radius.
$(h,k)$ is the center.

Lol I'm sorry(and late) in telling this but this is an equation of a circle :P

Okay thanks!

anonymous · Answer

general equation of a circle with radius $(h,k)$ radius $r$ is ... what parth said

parthkohli · Answer

Compare the equation you are given with the equation of a circle I gave.

parthkohli · Answer

Radius is r.... I think you meant center $(h,k)$.

anonymous · Answer

in your case $r^2=36$ and so $r=6$ should be able to find the center

parthkohli · Answer

Lol it's funny to think how both r and (h,k) are radii :P
