Exercise 43 Page 586

(x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=256

Practice makes perfect
Let's start by recalling the standard form of an equation of a circle.

(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2 In this form, ( h, k) is the center of the circle and r is its radius. We are told that the center of the circle is ( - 3, 2) and its radius is 16. This information is enough to write the equation. (x-( - 3))^2+(y- 2)^2= 16^2 ⇕ (x+3)^2+(y-2)^2=256
