Question

Barbie is analyzing a circle, y2 + x2 = 16, and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect? Graph below

Answer 1

I see j(x) =8 and then 20^x under the g(x) column. I'm confused.

Answer 2

? what @IMStuck

Answer 3

ahemmm seems you got the mistaken graph for it, there's no g(x) on that one above

Answer 4

Here i though I was going nuts!!

Answer 5

; P

Answer 6

Oh my bad haha here @IMstuck

Answer 7

Did you draw the line for g(x)?

Answer 8

g(x) is also y right

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

hmm what did yiou get for the equation of g(x)?

Answer 11

it would intersect in the 4 quadrant so would that be plsitive and negative?

Answer 12

I mean wouldn't it be they would intersect if x coordinates are positive

Answer 13

I was just looking at the drawing. If you plot the line odes it intersect the circle? That was the question correct?

Answer 14

yah but the answer choices are

Yes, at positive x-coordinates or zero

Yes, at negative x-coordinates or zero

Yes, at negative and positive x-coordinates or zero

No, they will not intersect

Answer 15

OK..then you need to determine the equation for the line and then determine where they intersect the circle.

Answer 16

well notice someting

Answer 17

doesn't seem you're required to get points where they intersect though
just to check if they do or not

Answer 18

positive x coordinates? right

Answer 19

well...the x-coordinates given are positive, yes
the line does have negative ones too

Answer 20

well its only saying x coordinates :/ so im confused if its just positive or positive and negative

Answer 21

.... hmm?

Answer 22

what do you think? and I have one more too

Answer 23

the ones you were provided are just positive for "x", yes

however, g(x) does have negative "x" and "y" coordinates, but for the sake of seeing if the line crosses the circle, they don't quite matter that much

Answer 24

Then what would it be? I'm confused

Answer 25

And sorry I was afk

Answer 26

well look at the points for the line
and look at the circle
