1. The equation of a circle is (x + 4)2 + (y – 6)2 = 48
What is the center of the circle?

What is its radius (round to the nearest tenth)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Center of circle = (-4,6)

Radius = 6.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula of a circle:

[tex]{(x - a)}^{2} + {(y - b)}^{2} = {c}^{2} [/tex]

Center of circle = (a, b)

Radius= c

Your question is:

[tex] {(x + 4)}^{2} + {(y - 6)}^{2} = 48[/tex]

a= - 4 because - (-4) will only equal to 4

b= 6 because - (6) will only equal to - 6

If (a, b) is the center of the circle, thus (-4,6) is the center of the circle.

To find the radius.

If c = radius.

[tex] {c}^{2} = 48 \\ c = \sqrt{48} \\ c = 4 \sqrt{3} [/tex]

[tex]4 \sqrt{3} = 6.92820323[/tex]

Note: Please use a calculator when finding the radius.

Thus to the nearest tenth

c= 6.9

Thus the radius is 6.9
