A radio tower is centered at (6,-16) on a coordinate grid where each unit represents 1 mile the radio signals range is 80 miles write a standard equation that describes the position and range of the tower

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex](x-6)^{2}+(y+16)^{2}=6,400[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a circle in standard form is equal to

[tex](x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}[/tex]

In this problem we have

The center of the radio tower (position) is the point [tex](6,-16)[/tex]

The radius of the radio tower (range) is [tex]r=80\ miles[/tex]

substitute

[tex](x-6)^{2}+(y+16)^{2}=80^{2}[/tex]

[tex](x-6)^{2}+(y+16)^{2}=6,400[/tex]
