Step-by-step solution

here's the solution for question 12 in English.

The equation of a circle is given by x2+y2−6x+2y−6=0x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 2y - 6 = 0. Determine the coordinates of the center and the radius of the circle. (4 marks)

  1. Rearrange the equation to group the xx-terms and yy-terms, and move the constant to the right side.

    The given equation is x2+y2−6x+2y−6=0x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 2y - 6 = 0.

    (x2−6x)+(y2+2y)=6(x^2 - 6x) + (y^2 + 2y) = 6
  2. Complete the square for both the xx-terms and the yy-terms.

    To complete the square for x2−6xx^2 - 6x, take half of the coefficient of xx (which is −6/2=−3-6/2 = -3) and square it ((−3)2=9(-3)^2 = 9).
    To complete the square for y2+2yy^2 + 2y, take half of the coefficient of yy (which is 2/2=12/2 = 1) and square it (12=11^2 = 1).
    Add these values to both sides of the equation:

    (x2−6x+9)+(y2+2y+1)=6+9+1(x^2 - 6x + 9) + (y^2 + 2y + 1) = 6 + 9 + 1 (x−3)2+(y+1)2=16(x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 16
  3. Identify the coordinates of the center and the radius.

    The standard equation of a circle is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k)(h, k) is the center and rr is the radius.
    Comparing our equation (x−3)2+(y+1)2=16(x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 16 with the standard form:
    The center (h,k)(h, k) is (3,−1)(3, -1).
    The radius squared r2r^2 is 16, so the radius r=16=4r = \sqrt{16} = 4.

    The coordinates of the center are (3,−1)(3, -1) and the radius is 4 units.

    Center: (3,−1), Radius: 4\text{Center: } (3, -1), \text{ Radius: } 4
