Consider a circle whose equation is x2 + y2 – 2x – 8 = 0. Which statements are true? Select three options. The radius of the circle is 3 units. The center of the circle lies on the x-axis. The center of the circle lies on the y-axis. The standard form of the equation is (x – 1)² + y² = 3. The radius of this circle is the same as the radius of the circle whose equation is x² + y² = 9.

The statements which are correct about the equation of circle [tex]x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0[/tex] are 1) The radius of the circle is 3 units,2) The center of the circle lies on the x axis,5) The radius of this circle is the same the radius of the circle whose equation is [tex]x^{2} +y^{2} =9[/tex].

Given the equation of circle be [tex]x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0[/tex].

We are required to find the appropriate statements related to the equation [tex]x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0[/tex].

[tex]x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0[/tex] can be written as under:

[tex]x^{2} +y^{2} -2x+1-9=0[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} +1^{2}-2x+y^{2} -9=0[/tex]

[tex](x-1)^{2}+y^{2}[/tex]-9=0

[tex](x-1)^{2} +y^{2} =9[/tex]

[tex](x-1)^{2}+y^{2} =3^{2}[/tex]

Equation of a circle usually in the form [tex]x^{2} +y^{2} =a^{2}[/tex] in which a is radius.

From the comparison of both the equations we get that radius is 3 units.

From the equation point will be (1,0). It is on the x axis.

Hence the statements which are correct about the equation of circle [tex]x^{2} +y^{2}-2x-8=0[/tex] are 1) The radius of the circle is 3 units,2) The center of the circle lies on the x axis,5) The radius of this circle is the same the radius of the circle whose equation is [tex]x^{2} +y^{2} =9[/tex].
