Consider the equation 

Does this equation determine a relation between x and y? 

Yes, the above equation can determine the relation between x and y, and can show a circle of a
unit radius if we take (0,2).

Can the variable x can be seen as a function of y, like x=g(y)?

Yes, the first step is taking y to the other side like : x2= 1- (y-2)2

Then take the square root of both sides like : x=±√(1−(y−2)²)

g( y )=±
√1−( y −2)2 = x this will be the equation

Can the variable y be expressed as a function of x, like y= h(x)? 

Yes, the first step is taking x to the other side like : (y-2)2 =1-x2

Then square root both sides like: 2


y−2=± √1−x

And, finally shift the 2 to the other side, and it will look like y= ± √ 1−x

 If these are possible, then what will be the domains for these two functions?

Domain for x=g(y) is

1 - (y - 2)² ≥ 0

1 ≥ (y - 2)²

1 ≥ y - 2 ≥ -1

3≥y≥1
1≤y≤3

So, the domain becomes [1,3]

Domain for y=h(x) is

1 - x² ≥ 0

1 ≥ x²

1 ≥ x ≥ -1

-1 ≤ x ≤ 1

So, the domain becomes [-1,1]

 What are the graphs of these two functions? 

The two functions would show two half circles with a radius of 1 and the center (0,2).
Are there points of the coordinate axes that relate to (0, 2) by means of R? 

Yes, Because the radius of the circle is 1, all of the points of the circle have a distance of 1 from
the center (0,2).
