Page 1: 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. x 2 + y 2 = r 2 x 2 +

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

Page 2: 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. x 2 + y 2 = r 2 x 2 +

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.

Page 3: 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. x 2 + y 2 = r 2 x 2 +

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2

ANSWER

Page 4: 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. x 2 + y 2 = r 2 x 2 +

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
