Exercise 49 Page 786

(x-1)^2+(y+4)^2=17

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 ( 1, - 4) and its radius is sqrt(17). This information is enough to write the equation. (x- 1)^2+(y-( - 4))^2=( sqrt(17))^2 ⇕ (x-1)^2+(y+4)^2=17
