Question
Earth is represented on a map of a portion of the solar system so that surface circle with the equation x squared plus y squared plus 6X + 8 y minus 3575 equals 0 a weather satellite surgical 0.7 unit above Earth with the center of its Circle orbit at the center of the earth find the equation for the orbit of the satellite on this map
Explanation / Answer
For given equation,
x2+y2+6x+8y-3575=0
center is ( -3 , -4 )
and radius, r = (3575-9-16)1/2 = 60 units
Now for satellite orbit,
center is ( -3 , -4 ) and radius, r' = 60+0.7 = 60.7 units
Equation of satellite orbit,
(x+3)2 + (y+4)2 = (60.7)2
or x2+y2+6x+8y-3659.49 =0
D is correct
