Exercise 1 Page 778

(x-9)^2+y^2=25

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 ( 9, 0) and its radius is 5. This information is enough to write the equation. (x- 9)^2+(y- 0)^2= 5^2 ⇕ (x-9)^2+y^2=25
