Direct link to kubleeka's post “Parabolas, hyperbolas, el...” Parabolas, hyperbolas, ellipses, and circles (which are just special ellipses) are collectively called "Conic Sections", since you can find each of these curves as the intersection between an infinite cone and a plane. "Quadratic" refers to a polynomial of degree 2, and hence only describes parabolas. Equations that describe circles don't really have a special name. (35 votes) 1262076 7 years agoPosted 7 years ago.

Suppose we are trying to find the square root of a number, x, and we know the square root of a number, k, that is "close" to x. (k will likely be perfect square as it makes the math easier). The square root of x is approximately equal to (x + k)/(2 * sqrt(k)). (9 votes) Louise 7 years agoPosted 7 years ago. Direct link to Louise's post “Hi! I really need an urge...” Hi! I really need an urgent response towards how should I find the equation of circle if the only given were the center (-1,-7) and a point (2,11). Well, I tried doing using the standard equation of the circle and imputed the given sample and tried to square it. Unfortunately, WileyPLUS (Its a book converted into sort of online stuffs and other than pen and paper activities its all made online) as part of our school marked my answers wrong... can anyone help me? I really need to perfect it. • (2 votes) Judith Gibson 7 years agoPosted 7 years ago.

Direct link to Kim Seidel's post “You are looking at it in ...” You are looking at it in the wrong way. The formula for a circle is based upon the distance formula for finding the distance between 2 points. In this case one of the points is the center point (-3,3) and you are finding all points that have a distance of 5 units from the center point. (8 votes) Ann Meneses 7 years agoPosted 7 years ago.

Direct link to Chris O'Donnell's post “A=9, B=24, C=16 so the di...” A=9, B=24, C=16 so the discriminant is 576 - 4(9)(16) = 576 - 576 = 0. Therefore this is a parabola. Factorising the first three terms we get (3x+4y)^2 + 90x - 130y = 0. Let u = 3x+4y and v = -4x+3y. Then x = (3u - 4v)/25 and y = (4u + 3v)/25. So the equation becomes: u^2 + (18/5) (3u-4v) + (26/5) (4u+3v) = u^2 + 158u/5 + 6v/5 = 0 Complete the square: (u+79/5)^2 - 6241/25 + 6v/5 = 0 Rearrange for v: v = 6241/30 - 5/6 (u+79/5)^2 So the directrix is v = 6241/30 + 6/20 = 625/3 Writing in terms of x and y: (3 votes) Bhoke Maseke 3 years agoPosted 3 years ago.

Direct link to David Severin's post “Exercise 3 requires you t...” Exercise 3 requires you to complete the square for x and y. So if you have x^2+y^2-10x-16x+53=0, first put variable terms together (x^2-10x+ __) + (y^2-16y+ ___) - ___ - _____ +53=0. To complete the square, you have to divide middle term by 2 and square the result, so -10/2 = -5, (-5)^2=25 and -16/2=-8, (-8_^2=64. Thus, (x^2-10x+25) + (y^2-16x+64)-25-64+53=0. So (x-5)^2 + (y-8)^2 - 36=0. (5 votes) sugutjune 6 years agoPosted 6 years ago.

It is a bit tricky when the circle is small but it can be done
At first glance it looks like the circle goes though the point (9,0) and therefore has a radius of 4.
However, upon closer looking, the circumference of the circle is just a bit beyond (9,0) and actually hits the point (9,-1).
That's why (using the Pythagorean theorem) the distance for the radius is calculated between the center (5,0) and the point (9,-1) which lies on its circumference. (Note that the point (9,1) could have been used instead as could (1,1) or (1,-1).)
is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
So your equation starts as ( x + 1 )^2 + ( y + 7 )^2 = r^2
Next, substitute the values of the given point (2 for x and 11 for y), getting
3^2 + 18^2 = r^2,
so r^2 = 333.
The final equation is (x+1)^2 + (y+7)^2 = 333
Hope this helps!
We know that the general equation for a circle is ( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2, where ( h, k ) is the center and r is the radius.
So add 21 to both sides to get the constant term to the righthand side of the equation.
x^2 + y^2 -4y = 21
Then complete the square for the y terms.
x^2 + y^2 - 4y + 4 = 21 + 4
Then factor.
x^2 + ( y - 2 )^2 = 5^2
So, the center is at ( 0, 2 ) and the radius is 5.
like (x+3)^2+(y+3)^2 = 25
why is the centre -3,3, when plugged in, it clearly does not equal 25
Hope this helps.
And the focus is (u,v) = (-79/5, 6241/30 - 6/20) = (-79/5, 3116/15)
The directrix is -12x+9y = 625
And the focus is (x,y) = (-527/15, 112/5)
