OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

sorry, no Circle Probs. :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aw :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equation 4 a circle: (x-k)^2+(y-h)^2=r^2 center (k,h) radius is r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks, could you walk me through the problem? It's sorta confusing.

OpenStudy (radar):

the k and h is the amount of offset the center of the circle is from (0,0)

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

radar when u get a chance, take a look at my linear algebra problem PLEASE!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea so whatever the k and h amounts are, are the values of the center of the circle. think of the k and h as shifts from the origin

OpenStudy (radar):

Your circle is not centered at (0,0)

OpenStudy (radar):

But you have been provided information needed to calculate k and h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, but how? I just don't understand how I put the numbers together

OpenStudy (radar):

Have you looked closely at the formula that jahtoday provided.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so k = 9 and h = 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If they gave u a problem that said there's a circle with radius r and its center is (k,h) then the equation for the circle would b \[(x-k)^2+(y-h)^2=r^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh, i looked at the wrong problem. disgregard that last reply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so does the problem looks like this: (x - -10)^2 + (y - 6)^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

similarly they gave u that the center is (-10,6) with radius 8 so the equation would b \[(x+10)^2+(y-6)^2=8^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright.. so how do i find the answers for the questions in parentheses?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not seeing any questions in parentheses. what do u mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, the answer is that equation? Wow, thanks!
