Answer

a) No b) Yes

Work Step by Step

The points are on the graph when $x^2+y^2=1$ Check the points: a) $x^2+y^2=(\dfrac{1}{2})^2+(\dfrac{1}{2})^2=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}\ne1$ Therefore, this point is not on the graph. b) $x^2+y^2=(\dfrac{1}{2})^2+(\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2})^2=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{4}{4}=1$ Therefore, this point is on the graph.
