Answer to Problem 3BDT

The center of the circle is at the point (3,5) and the radius of the circle is 5.

Explanation of Solution

Formula used:

The equation of the circle is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2, where the center of the circle is at the point (h,k), r is the radius of the circle.

Calculation:

It is given that the equation of the circle is x2+y26x+10y+9=0.

Simplify the above equation as follows,

x2+y26x+10y+9=0x26x+9+y2+10y+2525=0(x3)2+(y+5)2=25(x3)2+(y+5)2=52

Compare the equations (x3)2+(y+5)2=52 and (xh)2+(yk)2=r2.

It is clear that h=3, k=5, and r=5.

The center of the circle is at the point (h,k), that is (3,5).

The radius of the circle is r=5.

Thus, the center of the circle is at the point (3,5) and the radius of the circle is 5.
