Find the point on the curve x² + y² = 25 closest to (0, 9). A) (0, 25) B) (0, 5) C) (0, 9) D) (5, 0) E) (25, 0)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The curve described is a circle with a radius of 5 centered at the origin (0,0), given by the equation $x^2 + y^2 = 25$. The point (0, 9) is outside this circle, and the closest point on the circle to (0, 9) would be vertically above or below the center along the y-axis, since the x-coordinate of the point (0, 9) is 0. The closest point on the circle to (0, 9) along the y-axis, without going over the radius of 5, is (0, 5).
