Example Question #491 : Functions And Graphs

$Identify\ the\ center\ and\ radius\ for\ (x+4)^2+(y-2)^2=49$

Possible Answers:

Center: (4,-2); Radius= 49

Center: (-4,2); Radius= 7

Center: (4,-2); Radius= 7

Center: (-4,2); Radius= 49

Correct answer:

Center: (-4,2); Radius= 7

Explanation:

When identifying the center of a circle, take the opposite sign of each value connected to x and y.

$(x+4)^2+(y-2)^2=49\ compare\ with\ the\ general\ equation\ of\ a\ circle: (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

$Changing\ signs\ for\ each\ gives\ us\ a\ center\ of: (-4,2)$

$To\ find\ the\ radius\ we\ set\ r^2=49,$

$take\ square\ root\ of\ both\ sides\ to\ get\ r=7.$

Example Question #91 : Quadratic Functions

What is the center and radius of the following equation, respectively?

(x-6)^2+(y+7)^2 = 2

Possible Answers:

(6,-7);4

(-6,7); 2

$(-6,7); \sqrt2$

(6,-7); 2

$(6,-7); \sqrt2$

Correct answer:

$(6,-7); \sqrt2$

Explanation:

The equation given represents a circle.

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

(h,k) represents the center, and is the radius.

h=6 , k = -7

The center is at: (6,-7)

Set up an equation to solve the radius.

r^2=2

The radius is: $r=\sqrt{2}$

The answer is: $(6,-7); \sqrt2$

Example Question #492 : Functions And Graphs

Which of the following represents the formula of a circle with a radius of centered at (-1,2) ?

Possible Answers:

(x+1)^2+(y-2)^2=4

$(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2=2\sqrt2$

$(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2=\sqrt2$

$(x+1)^2+(y-2)^2=\sqrt2$

(x-1)^2+(y+2)^2=4

Correct answer:

(x+1)^2+(y-2)^2=4

Explanation:

Write the standard form for a circle.

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

The circle is centered at: (h,k)

The radius is: r=2

Substitute all the known values into the formula.

(x-(-1))^2+(y-2)^2=2^2

Simplify this equation.

The answer is: (x+1)^2+(y-2)^2=4
