** The equation x - 2y = -5 can be solved for y to give us

y = 1/2 x + 5/2.

A line parallel to this will therefore have slope 1/2.

Point-slope form gives us

y - 0 = 1/2 * (x - 0) or just

y = 1/2 x. **

2.5.28 (was 2.4.24) Perpendicular to x - 2 y = -5 containing (0,4) **** Give your equation for the requested line and explain how you obtained it.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

First determine the slope:

y=1/2x+5/2

the PERPINDICULAR slope is -2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-4=-2(x-0)

y-4=-2x

y= -2x+4

** The equation x - 2y = -5 can be solved for y to give us

y = 1/2 x + 5/2.

A line perpendicular to this will therefore have slope -2/1 = -2.

Point-slope form gives us

y - 4 = -2 * (x - 0) or

y = -2 x + 4. **

2.3.10 (was 2.4.30). (0,1) and (2,3) on diameter **** What are the center, radius and equation of the indicated circle?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

first find the midpoint:

y=(y1+y2)/2 x=(x1+x2)/2

y=(3+1)/2 x=2/2

y=2 x=1

the center is (1,2)

to find the radius use this equation:

using points (2,3)

r=sqrt[(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2]

r=sqrt[(2-1)^2 + (3-2)^2]

r=sqrt(1^2+1^2)

r=sqrt1

should be sqrt(2); 1^2 + 1^2 = 2.

r=1

** The distance from (0,1) to (2,3) is sqrt( (2-0)^2 + (3-1)^2 ) = 2. This distance is a diameter so that the radius is 1/2 (2) = 1.

The equation (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 becomes

(x-1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = r^2.

Substituting the coordinates of the point (0, 1) we get

(0-1)^2 + (1-2)^2 = r^2 so that

r^2 = 2.

Our equation is therefore

(x-1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 2.

You should double-check this solution by substituting the coordinates of the point (2, 3). **

2.3.16 (was 2.4.36). What is the standard form of a circle with (h, k) = (1, 0) with radius 3?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

(x-1)^2 + (y-0)^2 = 3^2

x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 = 9

x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 8 = 0

** The standard form of a circle is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where the center is at (h, k) and the radius is r.

In this example we have (h, k) = (1, 0). We therefore have

(x-1)^2 +(y - 0)^2 = 3^2.

This is the requested standard form.

This form can be expanded and simplified to a general quadratic form. Expanding (x-1)^2 and squaring the 3 we get

x^2 - 2x +1+y^2 = 9

x^2 - 2x + y^2 = 8.

However this is not the standard form.

2.3.24 (was 2.4.40). x^2 + (y-1)^2 = 1 **** Give the center and radius of the circle and explain how they were obtained. In which quadrant(s) was your graph and where did it intercept x and/or y axes?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

finding the center (0,1) and the radius (1)

x intercept: y intercept:

x^2 + (0-1)^2=1 0 + (y-1)^2=1

x^2 - 1^2 = 1 (y-1)^2=1

x^2 +1 =1 sqrt[(y-1)^2]=sqrt1

x^2 = 0 y-1=1

x = 0 y=0

** The standard form of a circle is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where the center is at (h, k) and the radius is r.

In this example the equation can be written as

(x - 0)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 1

So h = 0 and k = 1, and r^2 = 1. The center of the is therefore (0, -1) and r = sqrt(r^2) = sqrt(1) = 1.

The x intercept occurs when y = 0:

x^2 + (y-1)^2 = 1. I fy = 0 we get

x^2 + (0-1)^2 = 1, which simplifies to

x^2 +1=1, or

x^2=0 so that x = 0. The x intercept is therefore (0, 0).

The y intercept occurs when x = 0 so we obtain

0 + (y-1)^2 = 1, which is just (y - 1)^2 = 1. It follow that

(y-1) = +-1.

If y - 1 = 1 we get y = 2; if y - 1 = -1 we get y -2. So the y-intercepts are

(0,0) and (0,-2)

** Starting with

2x^2+ 2y^2 +8x+7=0 we group x and y terms to get

2x^2 +8x +2y^2 =-7. We then divide by the common factor 2 to get

x^2 +4x + y^2 = -7/2. We complete the square on x^2 + 4x, adding to both sides (4/2)^2 = 4, to get

x^2 + 4x + 4 + y^2 = -7/2 + 4. We factor the expression x^2 + 4x + 4 to obtain

(x+2)^2 + y^2 = 1/2. From the standard form of the equation for a circle we see that

the center is (-2,0)

the radius is sqrt (1/2).

To get the intercepts:

We use (x+2)^2 + y^2 = 1/2

If y = 0 then we have

(x+2)^2 + 0^2 = 1/2

(x+2)^2 = 1/2

(x+2) = +- sqrt(1/2)

x + 2 = sqrt(1/2) yields x = sqrt(1/2) - 2 = -1.3 approx.

x + 2 = -sqrt(1/2) yields x = -sqrt(1/2) - 2 = -2.7 approx

If x = 0 we have

(0+2)^2 + y^2 = 1/2

4 + y^2 = 1/2

y^2 = 1/2 - 4 = -7/2.

y^2 cannot be negative so there is no y intercept. **

** The center of the circle is the midpoint between the two points, which is ((4+0)/2, (3+1)/2) = (2, 2).

The radius of the circle is the distance from the center to either of the given points. The distance from (2, 2) to (0, 1) is sqrt( (2-0)^2 + (2-1)^2 ) = sqrt(5).

The equation of the circle is therefore

(x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2 = (sqrt(5))^2 or

(x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 5. **

The last problem is very similar to one you earlier solved using the correct reasoning, withonly one arithmetic error.

The next-to-last problem merits a detailed self-critique. I recommend that you make a copy of that problem and given solution, and insert a self-critique telling me specifically what you do and do not understand about the process.
