Question

Find the equation of a circle with a center at (1, 4) where a point on the circle is (4, 8). ( x - 1) 2 + ( y - 4) 2 = 25 ( x - 4) 2 + ( y - 1) 2 = 25 ( x - 1) 2 + ( y - 4) 2 = 5

Answer 1

Answer:

 (x-1)^4    +  (y-4)^2  = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Center at 1,4 means the circle is of the form:

   (x-1)^4    +  (y-4)^2  = r^2

Find r^2 using distance formula from center to the given point

 r ^2 = ( 8-4)^2 + (4-1)^2

 r^2 = 16 +9 = 25

so you answer is      (x-4)^4    +  (y-8)^2  = 25
