Question: * 2.4.10 (was 2.4.30). (0,1) and (2,3) on diameter **** What are the center, radius

and equation of the indicated circle?

///////////

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

using the two known points to find the center....(x1=x2)/2 , (y1=y2)/2...(0+2)/2 , (1+3)/2.. 1,2

center = 1,2

substitute for center of 1,2 for h,k and coordinates 2,3 for x,y into

formula (x-h)^2 = (x-k)^2 = r^2

(2-1)^2 + (3-2)^2 = r^2

1^2 + 1^2 = 2

radius = sqrt(2)

the equation would be (x-1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 2

Given Solution:

* *

The center of the circle is at the midpoint between the endpoints of the diameter, at x

coordinate (0 + 2) / 2 = 1 and y coordinate (1 + 3) / 2 = 2. i.e., the center is at (1, 2).

Using these coordinates, the general equation (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 of a circle 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).

Another way to find the equation is to simply find the radius from the given points:

The distance from (0,1) to (2,3) is sqrt( (2-0)^2 + (3-1)^2 ) = sqrt(4 + 4) = sqrt(8) = 2 *

sqrt(2).

This distance is a diameter so that the radius is 1/2 (2 sqrt(2)) = sqrt(2). *

The equation of a circle centered at (1, 2) and having radius sqrt(2) is

*

(x-1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = (sqrt(2)) ^ 2 or

*

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

Question: * 2.4.14 / 16 (was 2.4.36). What is the standard form of a circle with (h, k) = (1,

0) with radius 3?

////////////////

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

standard form:

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

(x-1)^2 + (y-0)^2 = 9

general form:

x^2 - 2x +1 + y^2 - 9 =0

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

/////////////////

.............................................

Given Solution:

* * 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.

Question: * 2.4.22 / 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?

/////////////

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

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

center= 0,1

radius= sqrt(1)

quadrants: on y axis spliting quad 1 and 2.

intercepts: x^2 + (y-1)^2 = 1

x=0 y=0

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

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

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

x = 0

Given Solution:

* * 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)

Question: * 2.4.32 / 34 (was 2.4.48). 2 x^2 + 2 y^2 + 8 x + 7 = 0 **** 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?

/////////////

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

2 x^2 + 2 y^2 + 8 x + 7 = 0

2 x^2 + 2 y^2 + 8 x = -7

.... divide by two on both sides...

x^2 + y^2 +4x = - 7/2

break down

(x^2 + 4x + 4) + (y^2 + 0) = -(7/2) + 4

(x + 2)^2 + (y + 0)^2 = - 15/2^2

center: -2, 0 radius: 15/2

quadrant: 2, 3

intercept: sub 0 in for x and y

(0 + 2)^2 + (y - 0)^2 = -15/2^2 (x+2)^2 + (0-0)^2 = -15/2^2

4 + y^2 = 225/4 (x+2)^2 = 225/4

y^2 = (225/4) - 4 x+2 = sqrt(225/4)

y= +/- sqrt(209/4) x = -2 +/- sqrt(225/4)

.............................................

Given Solution:

* * We first want to complete the squares on the x and y terms:

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.

We interpret our result:

The standard form of the equation of a circle is

*

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

where the center is the point (h, k) and the radius is r.

Matching this with our equation

*

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

we find that h = -2, k = 0 and r^2 = 1/2. We conclude 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

*

(note: The above solutions are approximate. The exact solutions can be expressed

according to the following:

*

sqrt(1/2) = 1 / sqrt(2) = sqrt(2) / 2, found by rationalizing the denominator; so sqrt(1/2)

- 2 = sqrt(2)/2 - 2 = (sqrt(2) - 4) / 2. This is an exact solution for one x intercept. The

other is (-sqrt(2) - 4) / 2.

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. This is consistent with the fact that a

circle centered at (2, 0) with radius sqrt(1/2) lies entirely to the right of the y axis. **

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Self-critique (if necessary): my error was that forgot about the negative sign when adding -7/2

and 4 so instead of adding a negative number and a positive i added two positives which gave me

the incorrect answer and i didnt notice it.

**** Give the general equation for your circle and explain how it was obtained.

//////////

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

firs, have to find center: (4+0)/2 , (3+1)/2 ... 2,2

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

sub in an end point and center

(4-2)^2 + (3-2)^2 = r^2

4 + 1 = 5

radious = sqrt5

standard form: (x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2 = (sqrt5)^2

(x-2)^2 + (y-2)^2 = (sqrt5)^2

x^2 -2x -2x +4 + y^2 - 2y - 2y + 4 - 5 = 0

x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 4y + 3 = 0

Given Solution:

* * 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 found from the standard equation, which is

*

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

where the center is the point (h, k) and the radius is r.

Since the center is at (2, 2) and the radius is sqrt(5), our equation is

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

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