On the xy-plane, each point on circle C has coordinates such
that x 0 and y 0. If the center of circle C is the point (3; 4),
what is the maximum possible area of C?  Options.
A) 6
B) 9
C) 24
D) 32
E) 64
I think that theintentof this question is that the circle will have NO CO-ORDINATES that fit the following 2 forms: (0, Y) or (X, 0). In real basic terms, this circle will NEITHER touch (nor cross) the X-axis NOR will it touch (nor cross) the Y-axis.   With a center at (3,8), the longest possible radius would ALMOST touch the X-axis, so the radius would be a little less than 3.   If the radius WAS 3 exactly, then the area would be 9pi, which is approximately 28.26   Since the circle CAN'T touch the X-axis, the area has to be LESS than approximately 28.26   As it's written, none of the answers is clearly the correct one.   9
