Chapter 8: Problem 87

Find the equation of the circle $$x^{2}+y^{2}+D x+E y+F=0$$ that passes through the points. To verify your result, use a graphing utility to plot the points and graph the circle. $$(-3,-1),(2,4),(-6,8)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The exact answer depends on the solution to the system of equations, which varies with D, E, F. The equation for the circle would take the form \(x^{2} +y^{2} + D*x + E*y + F = 0\), with appropriate values substituted for D, E, and F. Verification will be done by plotting the derived equation and points in a graphing utility.

Step by step solution

01

Set up the system of equations

Apply each of the points to the general equation of the circle: \(-3^{2} + -1^{2} + D*-3 + E*-1 + F = 0\), \(2^{2} + 4^{2} + D*2 + E*4 + F = 0\), and \(-6^{2} + 8^{2} + D*-6 + E*8 + F = 0\). This results in the system of equations: \(9 + 1 - 3D - E + F = 0\), \(4 + 16 + 2D + 4E + F = 0\), and \(36 + 64 - 6D +8E + F = 0\).
02

Solve the system of equations

Solving this system of equations will give the values of D, E, and F. One common method is to reduce this system to two equations in two unknowns by combinations, then solve for one variable in one of the resulting equations and substitute this expression in the other to solve for the other variable.
03

Substitute back into the circle equation

Once D, E and F are found, substitute these values back into the general equation of the circle \(x^{2} +y^{2} + D*x + E*y + F = 0\), to get the specific equation of the circle that passes through the given points.
04

Graph the circle and points

Use a graphing utility to plot the three points and graph the circle from the derived equation. This will visually confirm the derived equation is indeed the correct equation of the circle passing through the given points.

Find equations of lines whose graphs intersect the graph of the parabola \(y=x^{2}\) at (a) two points, (b) one point, and (c) no points. (There are many correct answers.)

Determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your answer. If a system of linear equations has no solution, then the lines must be parallel.

Consider the circuit in the figure. The currents \(I_{1}, I_{2},\) and \(I_{3},\) in amperes, are given by the solution of the system of linear equations \(\left\\{\begin{aligned} 2 I_{1} &+4 I_{3}=E_{1} \\ I_{2}+4 I_{3} &=E_{2} \\\ I_{1}+I_{2}-I_{3} &=0 \end{aligned}\right.\) where \(E_{1}\) and \(E_{2}\) are voltages. Use the inverse of the coefficient matrix of this system to find the unknown currents for the given voltages. \(E_{1}=15\) volts, \(E_{2}=17\) volts

Chemistry Thirty liters of a \(40 \%\) acid solution are obtained by mixing a \(25 \%\) solution with a \(50 \%\) solution. (a) Write a system of equations in which one equation represents the amount of final mixture required and the other represents the percent of acid in the final mixture. Let \(x\) and \(y\) represent the amounts of the \(25 \%\) and \(50 \%\) solutions, respectively. (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the two equations in part (a) in the same viewing window. (c) As the amount of the \(25 \%\) solution increases, how does the amount of the \(50 \%\) solution change? (d) How much of each solution is required to obtain the specified concentration of the final mixture?

An augmented matrix that represents a system of linear equations (in the variables \(x\) and \(y\) or \(x, y,\) and \(z\) ) has been reduced using Gauss-Jordan elimination. Write the solution represented by the augmented matrix. $$\left[\begin{array}{llll} 1 & 0 & \vdots & -2 \\ 0 & 1 & \vdots & 4 \end{array}\right]$$
