Exercise 28 Page 801

Adapt the given equation to match the standard equation of a circle.

Center: (0,0)
Radius: 6
Graph:

Practice makes perfect
Let's start by recalling the standard equation of a circle. (x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2Here, the center is the point ( h, k) and the radius is r. We will rewrite the given equation to match this form, and then we can identify the center and the radius.
x^2+y^2=36
(x+0)^2+(y+0)^2=36
(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=36
(x- 0)^2+(y- 0)^2= 6^2
The center of the circle is the point ( 0, 0) and its radius is 6. Finally, we can graph the circle using this information.
