Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left\{(x, y) \mid x^2+y^2+6 x+5 \geq 0\right\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider the point to be \((x, y)\) Now, the collection of such points will be all points on or outside a circle of radius 2 units whose centre is at \((-3,0)\) \(\begin{aligned} & (x+3)^2+(y-0)^2 \geq 2^2 \\ & x^2+9+6 x+y^2 \geq 4 \\ & x^2+y^2+6 x+5 \geq 0\end{aligned}\)
