Question 113830: Explain why the following is not the equation of a circle
I think the answer is because we cant determine the radius, but I'm not sure if thats the correct answer. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Explain why the following is not the equation of a circle
-----------------------------
Complete the square on the x-terms and the y-terms separately.
x^2-6x+9 + y^2-10y+25 = -35+9+25
(x-3)^2 + (y-5)^2 = -1
------------------------------------
The sum of two squares cannot be negative.
