What is the equation of the circle below?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't quite remember how to do this. Thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Equation of circle with centre at origin and radius r units is given by x^2+y^2=r^... can you move on from here...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know the equation for some reason I can't remember what to plug into it /:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is center of the circle here...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup and the radius is how many units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait is it 9^2+92^=9^2??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The radius is 9 units.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just replace r by 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so x^2+y^2=9^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup thats gr8...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so is it 9^2+9^2=9^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the equation of circle x^2 and y^2 must be there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In my notes it states that r= x^2+y^2 square rooted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just you can replace 9^2 by 81

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats also correct .. but you don't need to plug 9 instead of x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so the answer would be x^2+y^2=81?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it! Thanks!!!:)
