Q. (x7)2+(y+5)2=16 (x-7)^{2}+(y+5)^{2}=16 \newlineThe given equation represents a circle in the xy x y -plane. If (x,5) (x,-5) is a point on the circle, what is a possible value of x x ?
  1. Given Circle Equation: We are given the equation of a circle: (x7)2+(y+5)2=16(x - 7)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 16 We are also given a point on the circle where the yy-coordinate is 5-5. We need to find the corresponding xx-coordinate.
  2. Substitute y=5y = -5: Substitute y=5y = -5 into the equation of the circle to find the possible values of xx.(x7)2+(5+5)2=16(x-7)^2 + (-5+5)^2 = 16
  3. Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by calculating (5+5)2(-5+5)^2.\newline(x7)2+(0)2=16(x-7)^2 + (0)^2 = 16\newline(x7)2+0=16(x-7)^2 + 0 = 16\newline(x7)2=16(x-7)^2 = 16
  4. Eliminate Square: Take the square root on both sides of the equation to solve for xx.\newline(x7)2=±16\sqrt{(x-7)^2} = \pm\sqrt{16}\newlinex7=±4x - 7 = \pm4
  5. Solve for x: Solve for x by adding 77 to both sides of the equation.\newlinex=7±4x = 7 \pm 4
  6. Calculate Possible Values: Calculate the two possible values of xx.\newlinex=7+4x = 7 + 4 or x=74x = 7 - 4\newlinex=11x = 11 or x=3x = 3
