Algebra.Com's Answer #487831 by josgarithmetic(39620)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are mainly looking for points A and B, for which y=0.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Checking about the circle, \n" ); document.write( "You use distance formula to find r, which is distance from C to O. This is easy to see on a graph, since the two points are on the vertical line x=4. The radius is (2)+|-2|=4. No need for the distance formula in this case. Then the circle's equation is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Does a graph give you some idea how to complete answering the question?\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " |
