I'm assuming that these are the endpoints of the diameter. Recall that the general equation of a circle is . So we need the center (h,k) and the radius squared . First, let's find the center (h,k). Since the center is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (3,5) and (1,2), we need to find the midpoint. X-Coordinate of Midpoint = Since the x coordinate of midpoint is , this means that Y-Coordinate of Midpoint = Since the y coordinate of midpoint is , this means that So the center is the point (2, 7/2) --------------------------------------------------- Now let's find the radius squared Use the formula , where (h,k) is the center and (x,y) is an arbitrary point on the circle. In this case, and . Also, and . Plug these values into the equation above and simplify to get: So because , , and , this means that the equation of the circle that passes through the points (3,5) and (1,2) (which are the endpoints of the diameter) is .

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/550941: Factor the following expression completely: 70w^3 – 125w^2 + 30w 1 solutions Answer 359240 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2011-12-29 18:49:19 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the given expression. Factor out the GCF . Now let's try to factor the inner expression --------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at the expression , we can see that the first coefficient is , the second coefficient is , and the last term is . Now multiply the first coefficient by the last term to get . Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient ? To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of (the previous product). Factors of : 1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84 -1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-7,-12,-14,-21,-28,-42,-84 Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations. These factors pair up and multiply to . 1*84 = 84 2*42 = 84 3*28 = 84 4*21 = 84 6*14 = 84 7*12 = 84 (-1)*(-84) = 84 (-2)*(-42) = 84 (-3)*(-28) = 84 (-4)*(-21) = 84 (-6)*(-14) = 84 (-7)*(-12) = 84 Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient : First Number Second Number Sum 1 84 1+84=85 2 42 2+42=44 3 28 3+28=31 4 21 4+21=25 6 14 6+14=20 7 12 7+12=19 -1 -84 -1+(-84)=-85 -2 -42 -2+(-42)=-44 -3 -28 -3+(-28)=-31 -4 -21 -4+(-21)=-25 -6 -14 -6+(-14)=-20 -7 -12 -7+(-12)=-19 From the table, we can see that the two numbers and add to (the middle coefficient). So the two numbers and both multiply to and add to Now replace the middle term with . Remember, and add to . So this shows us that . Replace the second term with . Group the terms into two pairs. Factor out the GCF from the first group. Factor out from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis. Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term -------------------------------------------------- So then factors further to =============================================================== Answer: So completely factors to . In other words, . Note: you can check the answer by expanding to get or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).
