3.2.1 Co-ordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane (A-level only)

Why can the circle x2+y2=25x^2+y^2=25x2+y2=25 not be written as one equation y=f(x)y=f(x)y=f(x)?

A

It starts at (r,0)(r,0)(r,0).

B
  • Cartesian equation: identifies the underlying curve.
  • Parametric form and range: give section and tracing direction.
C

Most xxx-values correspond to two yyy-values.

D

y=3x−7y=3x-7y=3x−7, with x≥1x\ge1x≥1.
