Find the center of the circle if it is known that it lies on the Ox axis and the circle passes through

Find the center of the circle if it is known that it lies on the Ox axis and the circle passes through the point (1; 4) and the radius of the circle = 5

The center (x; 0) lies on the Ox axis. The distance from (1; 4) to it is 5, that is

(x – 1) ^ 2 + (4 – 0) ^ 2 = 52,

(x – 1) ^ 2 = 9,

x – 1 = -3 or x – 1 = 3

x = -2 or x = 4.

Answer: (-2; 0) or (4; 0)
