Chapter Closure
Sign In
(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2 In the equation above, ( h, k) is the center of a circle and r is its radius. Therefore, we should rewrite the given equation in this form so that we can identify them. x^2+&(y-3)^2=36 ⇕ (x- 0)^2+&(y- 3)^2= 6^2 Now we see that ( 0, 3) is the center and 6 is the radius of the given circle.
(x+1)^2+&(y+2)^2=8 ⇕ (x-( -1))^2+&(y-( -2))^2= sqrt(8)^2 Now we see that ( -1, -2) is the center and sqrt(8) is the radius of the given circle.
