Q. A circle in the xy x y -plane has the equation 4x2+4y224x=28 4 x^{2}+4 y^{2}-24 x=28 . What is the diameter of the circle?\newline \square
  1. Complete the square for x-terms: First, we need to complete the square for the x-terms in the equation.\newline4x224x4x^2 - 24x can be written as 4(x26x)4(x^2 - 6x).\newlineTo complete the square, we add (6/2)2=9(6/2)^2 = 9 to the expression inside the parenthesis.\newlineSo, we have 4(x26x+9)4(x^2 - 6x + 9).
  2. Add to balance the equation: We also need to add 4×94\times 9 to the other side of the equation to keep it balanced.\newlineThe equation becomes 4(x26x+9)+4y2=28+4×94(x^2 - 6x + 9) + 4y^2 = 28 + 4\times 9.
  3. Simplify the equation: Now, simplify the equation.\newline4(x3)2+4y2=28+364(x - 3)^2 + 4y^2 = 28 + 36.\newline4(x3)2+4y2=644(x - 3)^2 + 4y^2 = 64.
  4. Divide by 44 for standard form: Divide the whole equation by 44 to get the standard form of the circle's equation.(x3)2+y2=16(x - 3)^2 + y^2 = 16.
  5. Identify center and radius: The standard form of a circle's equation is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k)(h, k) is the center and rr is the radius.\newlineFrom our equation, r2=16r^2 = 16, so r=4r = 4.
  6. Calculate the diameter: The diameter of a circle is twice the radius.\newlineSo, the diameter is 2×4=82 \times 4 = 8.
