The equation x2 + (y + 4)2 = 49 models the boundary on a local map for which Darren can hear his friend Tom on his two-way radio when Darren is at home. How far (in miles) can Tom walk from Darren’s home and still be heard?
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "14 miles." The equation x2 + (y + 4)2 = 49 models the boundary on a local map for which Darren can hear his friend Tom on his two-way radio when Darren is at home.
