Algebra.Com's Answer #482390 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Did the centre and radius of the following circle: \n" ); document.write( "x^2 + y^2 = 2*r*x \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "Did it what? \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2rx + y^2 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 2rx + r^2 + y^2 = r^2 \n" ); document.write( "(x-r)^2 + y^2 = r^2 \n" ); document.write( "The center is (r,0) \n" ); document.write( "radius = r \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "For any value of r, the center is on the x-axis and the circle tangent to the y-axis. \n" ); document.write( " |
