Complete the equation of the circle centered at (−8,9) that passes through (10,2).

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ok... so we know the center of the circle, we dunno the radius though but we know it passes through (10,2) so notice the circle equation --> http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/circle/images/equation-of-circle/example-2-equation-of-circle.png so... what's the radius? well, the radius will be the same distance between the center and any point on the circle, that is \(\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ &({\color{red}{ -8}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 9}})\quad &({\color{red}{ 10}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 2}}) \end{array}\qquad d = \sqrt{({\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}})^2 + ({\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}})^2}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

once you have the radius, just plug the values in for h, k and r, in the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that means the answer is 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did not get that

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm well... what did you get for the distance between those 2 points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36+63=99

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(100-64)+(18+81) 36+63=99

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am still confuse littlebed

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ &({\color{red}{ -8}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 9}})\quad &({\color{red}{ 10}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 2}}) \end{array}\qquad d = \sqrt{({\color{red}{ 10}}-({\color{red}{ -8}}))^2 + ({\color{blue}{ 2}}-{\color{blue}{ 9}})^2}\\ \quad \\ d=\sqrt{18^2+(-7)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{324+49}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should i add 324+49

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, yes, that's the radius :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and get the root for the answer

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... you won't have to get thee root, if you can, sure however in this case is 373, and I think 373 is a prime

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am sorry i am confuse i really want you to show me what is the next step

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm ok.... so.... you see how the radius was found, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf d={\color{green}{ \sqrt{373}}}\iff radius\quad center\quad ({\color{blue}{ -8}},{\color{red}{ 9}})\\ \quad \\ \textit{equation of a circle}=(x-{\color{blue}{ h}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ k}})^2=r^2\\ \quad \\ \implies (x-{\color{blue}{ -8}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ 9}})^2=({\color{green}{ \sqrt{373}}})^2\\ \quad \\\implies (x-{\color{blue}{ -8}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ 9}})^2={\color{green}{ 373}}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ahemm so the -(-8) will turn to +8... .thus \(\large \bf \implies (x+{\color{blue}{ 8}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ 9}})^2={\color{green}{ 373}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's mean the answer is 373

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, that's the radius once is squared, the radius itself is \(\bf \sqrt{373}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ &({\color{red}{ -8}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 9}})\quad &({\color{red}{ 10}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 2}}) \end{array}\qquad d = \sqrt{({\color{red}{ 10}}-({\color{red}{ -8}}))^2 + ({\color{blue}{ 2}}-{\color{blue}{ 9}})^2}\\ \quad \\ d=\sqrt{18^2+(-7)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{324+49}\implies d=\sqrt{373}\iff radius\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay the radiuse is 373 what should i do after that

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, if you recall the equation of a circle ---> http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/circle/images/equation-of-circle/example-2-equation-of-circle.png all you'd do is plug in the values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug the value where can you show me how

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf d={\color{green}{ \sqrt{373}}}\iff radius\quad center\quad ({\color{blue}{ -8}},{\color{red}{ 9}})\\ \quad \\ \textit{equation of a circle}=(x-{\color{blue}{ h}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ k}})^2=r^2\\ \quad \\ \implies (x-{\color{blue}{ -8}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ 9}})^2=({\color{green}{ \sqrt{373}}})^2\\ \quad \\\implies (x-{\color{blue}{ -8}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ 9}})^2={\color{green}{ 373}}\\ \quad \\ \implies (x+{\color{blue}{ 8}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ 9}})^2={\color{green}{ 373}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need you help to figure out the answer

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... what are you after anyway?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really dont now that's why i am asking you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

Complete the \({\color{blue}{ \textit{equation of the circle}}}\) centered at (−8,9) that passes through (10,2).

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf d={\color{green}{ \sqrt{373}}}\iff radius\quad center\quad ({\color{blue}{ -8}},{\color{red}{ 9}})\\ \quad \\ \textit{equation of a circle}=(x-{\color{blue}{ h}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ k}})^2=r^2\\ \quad \\ \implies (x-{\color{blue}{ -8}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ 9}})^2=({\color{green}{ \sqrt{373}}})^2\\ \quad \\\implies (x-{\color{blue}{ -8}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ 9}})^2={\color{green}{ 373}}\\ \quad \\ \implies \bbox[border: 1px solid black;padding: 5px]{ (x+{\color{blue}{ 8}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ 9}})^2={\color{green}{ 373}}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the box it's the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

that's the equation of the circle, that has a center at (-8, 9) and passes through (10,2).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes what???

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

n the box it's the answer <-- yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it show me it's wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+8)^2+(y-2)^2=373

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's how i wrot it bot it's wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+8)^2+(y-9)^2=373

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you see ?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \bbox[border: 1px solid black;padding: 5px]{ (x+{\color{blue}{ 8}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ 9}})^2={\color{green}{ 373}}}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ohh haemm... thought there was a typo anyhow maybe you're expected to use the squared version of the radius the equation is fine

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf (x+{\color{blue}{ 8}})^2+(y-{\color{red}{ 9}})^2=({\color{green}{ \sqrt{373}}})^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks any way

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find an equation of the circle with center (15,−16) and radius 1 in the form of (x−A)2+(y−B)2=C where A,B,C are constant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have any idea about this one

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

same exact thing, only difference, you're given the values just plug them in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i could not figure oout
