Compute the centre and radius of the circle 2x2 + 2y2 – x = 0 |
|
Answer» Answer: Given that, the circle equation is 2x2 + 2y2 – x = 0 This can be written as: ⇒ (2x2-x) + y2 = 0 ⇒ 2{[X2 – (x/2)] +y2} = 0 ⇒{ x2 – 2x(¼) + (¼)2} +y2 – (¼)2 = 0 Now, simplify the above form, we get ⇒(x- (¼))2 + (y-0)2 = (¼)2 The above equation is of the form (x – h)2 + (y – k)2= r2 Therefore, by comparing the general form and the equation obtained, we can say h= ¼ , k = 0, and R = ¼. |
