Question

sketch the graph of (x-2)^2+(y-5)^2 is equal to or greater than 9

Answer 1

i got the center & the radius, but what is x & y?

Answer 2

Well, \(x\) and \(y\) are the axis

Answer 3

yeah i know that part

Answer 4

what i meant was what are the numbers

Answer 5

Well, any pair of \(x\) and \(y\) for which the equation still are possible values for \(x\) and \(y\).

Answer 6

One solution is \((5,5)\), another is \((-1,5)\), in fact there are an infinite number of solutions. If you were to graph each solution as a point, the points would create a circle.

Answer 7

Hmmm, but since it says 'equal to or greater than', that would mean you will have to do shading.

Answer 8

So all the points outside (but not inside) the circle also are solutions.

Answer 9

This is just the center, it's not a solution

Answer 10

These are solutions
