EXAMPLE 1 Write an equation of a circle
Write the equation of the circle shown.
The radius is 3 and the center is at the origin.
x2 + y2 = r2
x2 + y2 = 32
x2 + y2 = 9
Equation of circle
Substitute.
Simplify.
ANSWER
The equation of the circle is x2 + y2 = 9
EXAMPLE 2 Write the standard equation of a circle
Write the standard equation of a circle with center (0, –9) and radius 4.2.
SOLUTION
(x – h)2 + ( y – k)2 = r2
(x – 0)2 + ( y – (–9))2 = 4.22
x2 + ( y + 9)2 = 17.64
Standard equation of a circle
Substitute.
Simplify.
GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2
Write the standard equation of the circle with the given center and radius.
1. Center (0, 0), radius 2.5
x2 + y2 = 6.25
ANSWER
GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2
Write the standard equation of the circle with the given center and radius.
2. Center (–2, 5), radius 7
(x + 2)2 + ( y – 5)2 = 49
