Which point lies inside the circle with equation (x-2)^2+(y+3)^2=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2,-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats what I thought, but I only have these answers to chose from. (2, -5) (2, -4) (0, -3) (2, 0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They're not looking for a center i think, just whats within the circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its (2,0)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

the equation suggests that it has the centre (2,-3) and radius 2......... so u can try imagining for the circle and find which point lies inside and which outside.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Or you can use another method.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

which is pretty simple

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0,-3 would be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0, -3 is on it the edge. take a look

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

let me give u the best method that i know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the image i posted above correct or is the radius 4, thus the diameter would be 8 instead of 4 like in the pic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As when you substitute 0,-3 you will get rhs= lhs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seems to be (2,-5) from graph

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

@nishika17 wrong this means that it lies on the circle.

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

let f(x,y) = (x-2)^2+(y+3)^2-4 now plug in the given points in f(x,y) if for the given points, f(x,y) <0 -->point is inside circle f(x,y) =0 -->point is on the circle f(x,y) >0 -->point is outside the circle you may try now alternative method : you know center and radius here you may calculate distances of given points and center if its>radius -->outside circle =radius -->on circle <radius -->inside circle

OpenStudy (goformit100):

(2, 0)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

just take any point about which u r sure that it lies inside the circle........ then check whether on putting the values in eq. it gives lhs>rhs or lhs<rhs........ now try putting the values from the options ... one which gives the same inequality as u got above will be ur answer or u can even use the distance formula to find the distance of the points given in the options from the centre of the circle. if its > radius============= lies outside the circle if its <radius ============= lies inside the circle.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

this is what @shubhamsrg has done..........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both (0,-3) and (2,-5) are giving radius as 2 and for both lhs= rhs

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

So, @nishika17 they cannot be the correct answers./........ because this means that they lie on the circumference of the circle......
