Question 1157512: The points A = (0,13) and B = (12,5) lie on a circle whose center is at the origin.
(a) Write an equation for the perpendicular bisector of segment AB. Notice that this bisector goes through the origin; why was this
(b) Find center and radius for another circle to which A and B both belong, and write an equation for it.
(c) How small can such a circle be? How large? What can be said about the centers of all such circles?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
In this my short remark, I only want to notice that the assignment of Part (b) is NONSENSICAL,
because there are INFINITELY MANY circles to which the points A and B both belong.
Accordingly, there are INFINITELY MANY their centers and radii, as well as infinitely many equations.

Hey, I am starting to collect and to count nonsensical posts, submitted today.
At the evening, I will send the list (the links) of these submissions to the MANAGERS of this project,
to inform them about this FLOW of nonsense.
