Exercise 22 Page 816

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

Practice makes perfect

We will write the standard equation of the given circle.

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.

Looking at the graph, we can see that the center of the circle is ( 0, - 2) and its radius is 3. This information is enough to write the equation. (x- 0)^2+(y-( - 2))^2= 3^2 ⇕ x^2+(y+2)^2=9
