alones (alones):

circle whose center is at the origin and whose radius is

alones (alones):

Which of the following points lies on the circle whose center is at the origin and whose radius is 10? I'm not good with this tho :3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Given center and radius, can you write the equation of the circle ?

alones (alones):

Wait this?\[r=\sqrt{(x-0)^2 +(y-0)}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes, plugin r = 10 too

alones (alones):

Wait so i have to rewrite the fomula again?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Also it seems you've forgot to square the y part

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Wait this?\[r=\sqrt{(x-0)^2 +(y-0)^{\color{red}{2}}}\]

alones (alones):

Oh yea 10=\(\sqrt{(x-0)^2 +(y-0)^{\color{}{2}}} \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

square both sides

alones (alones):

**10=\(\sqrt{(x-10)^2 +(y-10)^{\color{}{2}}}\) liek this? sorry i'mnot good with this

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

No. (0,0) is the center. Your earlier equations are correct

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

10=\(\sqrt{(x-0)^2 +(y-0)^{\color{}{2}}} \) squaring both sides gives 100 = \(x^2 + y^2\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Any point on the circle must satisfy above equation

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

plugin each of the given options and see which one satisfies

alones (alones):

Okay so this way x2+y2=100 \[\sqrt{10}^2 +\sqrt{10}^2\] Like this?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what are your options ?

alones (alones):

Uhh let me see (-6, 4) (\(\sqrt{10},\sqrt{10}\) ) (6, -8)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Lets test the first option (-6, 4) plugin x = -6, y = 4 in the equation 100 = x^2 + y^2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

100 = (-6)^2 + 4^2 100 = 36 + 16 100 = 52 which is not true so the point in the first option doesn't lie on the given circle

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

try the second option

alones (alones):

Okay let me see I got 20 as 100

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

which is clearly false try third option

alones (alones):

Oh i was thinking it's false :3 mkay 3rd one \(6^2+(-8)^2 is 100\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

So ?

alones (alones):

Oh probably c, but i'm not sure.. let me check that agiain

alones (alones):

O.m.g that's right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

You could also solve it by graphing

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Simply graph the equation of the circle and the given points

alones (alones):

YAAAAAAS!1!!!!!! OKay Ummm should i try it?
