To find: A counterexample to this statement: The graph of any equation of the form
Answer to Problem 4CFU
It can be also the empty set.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The graph of any equation of the form
Calculation:
Rewrite by completing the square
If the right side is positive, this is an equation of a circle with center
If the right side is negative, the equation represents the empty set, which can serve as a (weak) counterexample.
Thus,
It can be also the empty set.
