Intersection between unit circle and another circle
How do you solve an equation like this:
x^2+y^2+4x+y+3 =0
x^2+y^2=1
How do you solve an equation like this:
x^2+y^2+4x+y+3 =0
x^2+y^2=1
the standard form of a circle is
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.
Center point of the circle is h,k. if (x-2)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 25 then center is (2,5) and the radius of the circle is 5.
So for the bottom equation you have (x-0)^2 + (y-0)^2 = 1. or at least that is the equivalent equation in standard form. so h,k is 0,0 and the sqrt of 1 is 1. so radius is 1.
for the first equation you have to put it in standard form using complete the square. first group like terms. x^2 + 4x and then y^2 + y, These are binomials that you want to put into trinomial format. In order to complete the square, where a^2 + b^2 + c = 0, then since you currently have a^2+b you take half of b and square it, then add it to both sides.
x^2 + 4x + 4 = 4 and y^2 + y + 1/4 = 1/4. then factor each, which should be (x+2)(x+2) + (y+1/2)(y+1/2) = 3+4+1/4
Now show it in standard form. (x+2)^2 + (y+1/2)^2 = 7+1/4 or 7.25
Thus h = -2, and k = -0.5, with radius as sqroot of 7.25
This is for factoring with missing values as shown in my original answer.
and this is graphing circles from standard form as shown in equation #2 you provided.
Thany you very much. This was very helpful!
Now I understand how to calculate.
There is just one thing I don't really understand.
I dont understand why the radius is the squareroot of 7.25.
I thought it would be the squareroot of 1.25?
(4 +1/4 -3 = 1.25)?
But you must have calculated:
4+1/4 + 3= 7.25?
I forgot to reverse the sign of the 3 when I move it to the right side of the equation. You sir are correct.
