Explanation
Correct answer: 49.
An equation of a circle in the xy-plane can be written as , where the center of the circle is and the radius of the circle is . It’s given that in the xy-plane, circle is defined by the equation , which can be rewritten as . It follows that , , and . Therefore, the center of circle is and the radius of circle is . It’s given that circle has the same center as circle , and the radius of circle is units greater than the radius of circle . Therefore, the center of circle is and the radius of circle is , or . Substituting for , for , and for into the equation yields , which is equivalent to . It follows that circle is defined by the equation ; therefore, the value of is .
Desmos solution:
Note: In circle standard form, the constant on the right is the square of the radius, so add 2 to the radius before squaring.
