HEOP! Ryan’s teacher asked him to graph circle E with equation (x – 5)2 + y2 = 25. Below is the graph he submitted. What, if anything, did Ryan do wrong when graphing this equation? Answer He graphed a circle with a radius of 25 instead of a radius of 5. He graphed a circle with center at (5, 0) instead of at (-5, 0). He graphed a circle with center at (5, 0) instead of at (25, 0). Ryan’s graph is accurate.

The radius is 25 and it should be 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree.

Sorry. I must have miscopied the equation. My bad ...

So I think a little more explanation should be made here why are you saying the radius should be 5 @Mertsj Is it because the equation of a circle is this: \[(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\] where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius :)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

@myininaya Because r^2 is 25 so r is 5

myininaya (myininaya):

Good job :)

Yea , I was just learning about that equation. I came up with the first answer but wasn't sure. Ty guys!

myininaya (myininaya):

\[(x-5)^2+(y-0)^2=5^2\] Exactly your equation is in the form I wrote above (5,0) is center and r is 5
