Can someone help me with this I dont understand
The equation (x - 5) +(y + 2) = 49 models the position and range of the source of

a radio signal. Describe the position of the source and the range of the signals. Hint:

position is the center of the circle and range is the radius of the circle.

and please explain how you got the answer.

Respuesta :

How to identify the source and range of the signal?

Remember that a circle of radius R, centered at the point (a, b) is described by the equation:

[tex](x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2[/tex]

In this case, we have the equation:

[tex](x - 5)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 49[/tex]

First, notice that 49 = 7², so we can rewrite:

[tex](x - 5)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 7^2[/tex]

Then, comparing this with the general circle equation, we can see that the center is at (5, -2) and the radius is R = 7.

Then the source is at (5, -2) and the range is 7 units.
