We don't need to do it like the other tutor suggests. We don't even need to know the equation of a circle. You may not have even studied that yet, anyway. We just plot those points and draw three circles with diameter 10 (radius 5) with centers (0,0), (5,5) and (10,5):So we just look and see that a circle with a diameter of 10 units and passes through the coordinates A,C,D, and E, and all three circles have centers with integer coordinates. So if one of those points can't lie on a circle's boundary with integer coefficients and radius 5, it would have to be B(0,0). We can quit here and figure that the answer can only be B(0,0). -------------------------- However we haven't really shown that B(0,0) can't lie on a circle's boundary with integer coefficients and radius 5. We've only gotten it by elimination. Let's draw a circle (in red) with radius 5 that goes through B(0,0) and also through (5,0). Let's also draw in two radii and label the center O. That forms an equilateral triangle, because all sides are 5 units long. _ Since we know that the altitude of an equilateral triangle is √3/2 times the length of a side of the equilateral_triangle, we know that the y- coordinate of the center O is 5 times √3/2, and is irrational. And it's the same with the only other circle we could draw with radius 5 that goes through B(0,0) and (5,0). Edwin
