???????????????????

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

Answer given is: -\[x^2+y^2=4\space \or \space x^2+y^2-64=0.\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the lion is goin in a circular path of radius 4.......... as long as the deer takes a path with a different radius it is safe.............. do you understand it now? is it a multi-choice question?

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

but the answer are these 2 only:/

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

which i have given above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so its not a multi-choice ques?

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

ya it is subjective

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

I would go for the larger radius otherwise the lion is continuously surrounding the deer

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

but the answers are small & big radius both:/

ok - as long as the new question is not as ambiguous as this one :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

the answers are\[(-\sqrt{2},\sqrt{2}).\]

there should be 2 solutions

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):
