The signal of Micha's Wi-Fi router covers a circular area, whose border is modeled by the equation (x – 7)^2 + y^2 = r^2. She discovers the boundary is located at (4, 4). What is the radius of the signal?

Respuesta :

Using the equation of the circle, it is found that the radius is of 5 units.

The equation of a circle of center [tex](x_0, y_0)[/tex] and radius r is given by:

[tex](x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 = r^2[/tex]

In this problem, the equation is:

[tex](x - 7)^2 + y^2 = r^2[/tex]

Boundary at (4,4), thus, we solve the equation for when [tex]x = 4, y = 4[/tex], to find r.

[tex](x - 7)^2 + y^2 = r^2[/tex]

[tex](4 - 7)^2 + 4^2 = r^2[/tex]

[tex]r^2 = 3^2 + 4^2[/tex]

[tex]r^2 = 25[/tex]

[tex]r = \sqrt{25}[/tex]

[tex]r = 5[/tex]

The radius of the circle is of 5 units.
