Let C be the circle..

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i realize that after graphing the circle and the point, that the answer is d. however, i'd like to know if there's a way i can figure that out without having to graph?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i tried putting the point into the equation... like (10 - 1)^2 + (10 - 2)^2, and i got 145...does that mean anything?

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

145 > 144 I think that means that point P is outside circle C

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so if it was exactly 144, then it would be on the circle? and less than 144, it would be inside?

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

yes!

OpenStudy (aripotta):

sorry, i was wrong about that :P

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):

I was about to say ;)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\) (h,k) is the center of the circle. r is the radius of the circle.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i know that :l

OpenStudy (aripotta):

ok, i looked at the answer, and it says it's c. so sleepy must be right :) thanks

OpenStudy (sleepyhead314):
