Determine whether each point lies on the circle. Then use symmetry to determine another point on the circle.


Circle K has its center at (0,0) and a radius of 4.
Point N is at (3, square root of 7).

Given:

Circle K has its center at (0,0) and a radius of 4.

Point N is at [tex](3,\sqrt{7})[/tex].

To find:

To check whether the point N lies on the circle or not. Then find the other point using symmetry.

Solution:

The standard form of a circle is

[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]       ...(i)

where, (h,k) is center and r is radius.

Circle K has its center at (0,0) and a radius of 4.  Putting h=0, k=0 and r= 4 in (i), to get the equation of circle K.

[tex](x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=4^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2+y^2=16[/tex]       ...(ii)

To check the point [tex]N(3,\sqrt{7})[/tex], put x=3 and [tex]y=\sqrt{7}[/tex] in (ii).

[tex](3)^2+(\sqrt{7})^2=16[/tex]

[tex]9+7=16[/tex]  

[tex]16=16[/tex]  

This statement is true. So. option [tex]N(3,\sqrt{7})[/tex] lies on the circle K.

According to the symmetry about the origin, if (x,y) lies on the graph then (-x,-y) also lies on that graph.

Since the center of the circle is origin, therefore, it is symmetrical about the origin.

Thus, point [tex]P(-3,-\sqrt{7})[/tex] must be on the circle K.

Therefore, the another point on the circle K is [tex]P(-3,-\sqrt{7})[/tex].
