Chapter 11: Q. 42 (page 1083)

In the following exercises, ⓐ identify the center and radius, and ⓑ graph.
$x^{2} + y^{2} - 6 x - 8 y = 0$

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Center of the circle $x^{2} + y^{2} - 6 x - 8 y = 0$ is $(3, 4)$ and radius is $5$

(b) graph of the circle is

Step by step solution

Step 1. given data

The given equation of the circle is

$x^{2} + y^{2} - 6 x - 8 y = 0$

Step 2. Part (a)

Group the x-terms and y-terms

$x^{2} + y^{2} - 6 x - 8 y = 0 (x^{2} - 6 x) + (y^{2} - 8 y) = 0$

complete the squares

$(x^{2} - 6 x + 9) + (y^{2} - 8 y + 16) = 9 + 16 {(x - 3)}^{2} + {(y - 4)}^{2} = 5^{2}$

Compare the equation with the standard equation of the circle

${(x - 3)}^{2} + {(y - 4)}^{2} = 5^{2} {(x - h)}^{2} + {(y - k)}^{2} = r^{2}$

so center $(h, k) = (3, 4)$

radius $r = 5$

Step 3. Part (b)

Plot the circle of center $(3, 4)$ and radius $5$
