@Hero

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

@amistre64 now can you help me :D

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

@Hero

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

@campbell_st

OpenStudy (amistre64):

tell me your thoughts, how do we define an origin?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Thats where it went gmergme4gtm5tmpt5p4 < Confusing i dont understand it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i dont know what that means

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Exactly....

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

I dont know what the question means either

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then you might need to google what an origin is ... otherwise we will not be speaking on the same terms

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

wait i know what it means now please continue :)

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Its the starting point :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we want to find the origin of the signal, how do we define an origin? what is the origin on our conventional graphing system? we start at 0,0 right?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Wow so many questions and yes right!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

this is a study session, how can we study if im the only one that does the thinking?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Sorry its just this is our final unit and im just coming to terms with these problems :(

OpenStudy (amistre64):

consider the form: u^2 + v^2 = 36 the origin is at u=0, v=0 now compare that to your form where u = x+6, and v=y+4 how do we relate the origin to your problem?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

this is our study session, when you decide to study is not my concern :) but we will still study it regardless

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

:)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

u = x+6, and v=y+4 our origin is u=0, v=0 therefore, in relation to x and y 0 = x+6 and 0 = y+4 what are our values of x and y in relation to the origin?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you shold already know that, im not here to teach you the entirety of algebra. they cover solving for a single variable way before they cover this stuff.

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Would i get y by it self? and x?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x is the name of a variable, there is nothing special in a name

OpenStudy (amistre64):

0 = x+6 , solve for x 0 = y+4 , solve for y

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

-6=x -4=y ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good, so in relation to our xy plane, the origin is at: -6,-4 right?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1433281584913:dw|

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so in relation to the xy plane, we now know where it originates at ... our range is ... hmm, would you agree its a circle?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Hmm i believe so

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, the circle equation is just the distance from a central points, the radius measures the distance from the center of a circle what is our distance formula?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

\[2\sqrt{13} ?\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thats not a distance formula, thats a number

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Wait do we have 2 points or is it that one that i solved for ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we have 2 points, an origin (-6,-4), and all (or any) points (x,y) from it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what is the distance between the points (-6,-4) and (x,y)?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

If i told you im a little lost would you leave me ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

at this point, yes :) what is our distance formula?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

lol wait are you serious and do you want me to write the formula?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i want you to write the formula for distance, this will help us determine the range

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Ok

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

\[d=\sqrt{(x _{2}}-x _{1})^{2} + (y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}\] = ?

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Sorry im not so good with that equation button but everything is squared

OpenStudy (freeg13):

what is the question?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good, but lets square each side (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 = d^2 let -6,-4 be the point x1,y1 and let x,y be some other point (x-(-6))^2 + (y-(-4))^2 = d^2 how does this compare to (x+6)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 36

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Thanks but @freeG13 i will show you if @amistre64 gives up on me :) but i doubt he will

OpenStudy (here_to_help15):

Are the exact thing its just the bottom is the simplified version

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so, d^2 = 36 then, what is d?
