Find the center and radius of the circle whose equation is x2 + y2 - 6x-2y+4= 0

The center of the circle = (3, 1)

The radius of a circle is given as r = √6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is given as:

( x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

where ( a , b) = center of the circle

r = radius of the the circle

In the question above, we are given the equation of a circle as

x² + y² - 6x - 2y + 4= 0

In order to find the center and radius of this circle we would use completing the square method to solve it

Step 1

Collect the like terms

x² - 6x + y² - 2y + 4= 0

Step 2

Complete the square for both x and y

x² - 6x + (-6/2)² + y² - 2y + (-2/2)² = - 4 +(- 6/2)² + (-2/2)²

x² - 6x + (-3)² + y² - 2y + (-1)² = -4 + (3)² + (1)²

x² - 6x + 9 + y² - 2y + 1 = -4 + 9 + 1

(x² - 6x + 9) + (y² - 2y + 1 )= -4 + 9 + 1

(x² - 3x - 3x +9) + ( y² - y - y +1) = 6

x(x - 3) -3( x - 3) + y( y - 1) - 1( y - 1) = 6

(x - 3) (x -3) +(y - 1) ( y - 1) = 6

(x - 3)²(y - 1)² = 6

Since,

The equation of a circle is given as:

( x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²

where ( a , b) = center of the circle

r = radius of the the circle

The equation of the the circle for the above question is calculated as:

(x - 3)²(y - 1)² = 6

where ( a , b) = center of the circle = (3, 1)

r = radius of the the circle

r² = 6

r = √6

b) 36

step-by-step explanation:

18 times 2 is 36

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
