IMPORTANT, PLEASE MAJOR HELP NEEDED!!! TRIGONOMETRY RVW. PLEASE IF YOU KNOW THIS STAFF!
@kiergurl5, there you go! @myininaya @Zarkon @robtobey @timo86m IMPORTANT!!!!
Thanks so much, @SolomonZelman! :)
@kiergurl5, ask questions about specific concepts, I;ll find and msg other helpers.
ok
Do you know the basics about the circles parabolas and hyperbolas?
kind of... not completly
lets start with circles.\[(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\]\[(h,k)~~~~~~~~is~~the~~center.\]\[r~~~~~~~~is~~~the~~radius.\]
|dw:1387138799309:dw|can you write the equation for this circle?
ummm.....
(I won't always be available, But I want to make sure the user gets help needed) @kiergurl5, try you can do it, compare to the formula.
(0,0) is the center... so...\[(3-0)^{2}+(3-0)^{2}=r^2\]
maybe?
ok... 18=r^2
\[\sqrt{18}=r\]
Hold on, I mis-understood what you wrote, y and x remain the same,
\[(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=3^2\]\[(x)^2+(y)^2=3^2\]\[x^2+y^2=3^2\]\[x^2+y^2=9\]
I am not substituting 3 for x and y, I am substituting 3 for r.
UNDERSTAND?
so i just did it backwards?
You plugged in 3 for x and y,. but you are/were supposed to lug in 3 for r and (0,0) for (h,k)
Ohhh....
Lets do more examples.
ok
