Equation of a Circle — Quiz

Question 34 • Integrated Math II CR SUSD (EX)

Does the point 2 comma square root of 6 lie on the circle shown? Explain.

Answer
A
Yes, the distance from 3 comma 0 to 0 comma 0 is 3 units.
B
Yes, the distance from 0 comma 0 to 2 comma square root of 6 is 3 units.
C
No, the distance from 0 comma 0 to 2 comma square root of 6 is not 3 units.
D
No, the distance from 3 comma 0 to 2 comma square root of 6 is not 3 units.

Explanation

The circle has center (0, 0) and radius 3, as shown by the point (3, 0) on it. The distance from (0, 0) to (2, √6) is √(2² + (√6)²) = √10, which is not 3. So the point is not on the circle; choice C is correct.
