How do you mean, \"how would you solve...\"? You have an equation of a circle; nothing more. What do you want from it? You could arrange it solved for x or you could arrange it solved for y. For either of those, use the number properties that you are learning.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The equation is better shown as \"x%5E2%2By%5E2=2\". You can put it into function form:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E2=-x%5E2%2B2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=sqrt%28-x%5E2%2B2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=sqrt%282-x%5E2%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If this must stay within real numbers, then the acceptable values for x is the set \"-sqrt%282%29%3Cx%3Csqrt%282%29\".
