Does This Equation Determine A Relation Between X and Y?

The document discusses two functions that represent a circle with radius 1 centered at (0,2): 1) x = g(y), which defines x in terms of y and has a domain of 1 < y < 3, graphing as half a circle in the first quadrant. 2) y = h(x), which defines y in terms of x and has a domain of -1 ≤ x ≤ 1, graphing as half a circle in the second and third quadrants.

Does this equation determine a relation between x and y?

The equation is to determine a circle that has a radius of 1, with the center point being (0,2). With

formulas you have a input and an output. Because of the instructions, we already know what the

relation is that connects both x and y. Once we use equations to figure out the value of y and the

value of x, we have a circle.

Can the variable x be seen as a function of y, like x=g(y)?

Yes. If we move around the equation, we will have the following:

x2 + (y-2)2 = 1

x2 = 1 – (y-2)2

x = ± √ (1 – (y – 2)2)

x = + √ (1 – (y – 2)2) or x = - √ (1 – (y – 2)2)

We can say that x as a function of y. In this case, we can input any value of y and it is squared

then subtracted from one, with the result square rooted. That being said, any value of y will give

you one value of x, meaning it’s a function. Since there is a negative sign in front of the square

root sign, we will have different outputs of x. Which is is why we can say x as a function of y.

For example, x=g(y). The domain becomes 1<y<3.

Can the variable y be expressed as a function of x, like y= h(x)?

Yes. If we switch around this equation, we will have the following:

x2 + (y-2)2 = 1

(y-2)2 = 1-x2

y-2 = ±√(1-x2)

y = 2 ± √(1-x2)

y = 2 + √(1-x2) or y = 2 - √(1-x2)
We can now say that y is a function of x. Like before, we can put any value for x and it is then

squared then subtracted from one, with the result square rooted. Take that result and add or

subtract from 2 to get the value for y. Doing this, again, will give you one value for y for each

value of x. Making it a function. For example, y= h(x). domains becomes - 1 ≤ x ≤ 1

If these are possible, then what will be the domains for these two functions?

First: x = g(y)

1–(y– 2)2 ≥ 0

(y–2)2 ≤ 1

-1<y–2<1

Domain equals: 1<y<3

Second: y = h(x)

1-x2≥0

x2≤ 1

Domains equals: - 1≤ x≤1

Are there points of the coordinate axes that relate to (0, 2) by means of R

Yes, both of the points have a relative distance of 1 from point (0,2)

What are the graphs of these two functions?
