52. What is the standard equation of the circle in the graph? (x + 3)2 + (y – 2)2 = 9 (x – 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = 9 (x – 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = 3 (x + 3)2 + (y – 2)2 = 3

wheres the circle

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

tell me the center of the circle.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\Large\color{red}{ \bf (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know the center. I dont understand this one at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the center is -2,2

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

what's the x-coordinate of the circle you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The center is -3,2

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap.... that's about right so now we know the center of the circle (-3, 2) or (h,k) so h=-3 and k=2 any ideas on what the radius might be?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1402091222582:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the radius is 2?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

is it? look at the picture... how "long" is the radius?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh 3?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, then now you know what "h" and "k" and "r" are, so just plug them in the circle equation :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huhh? Im so lost. Ive been doing this test since 11 this morning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its c?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 \qquad \begin{cases} h=-3\\ \bf k=2\\ \bf r=3 \end{cases} \\ \quad \\ \implies (x-(-3))^2+(y-(-2))^2=(3)^2\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm actaully shoot, I got an extra minus there =| \(\bf (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 \qquad \begin{cases} h=-3\\ \bf k=2\\ \bf r=3 \end{cases} \\ \quad \\ \implies (x-(-3))^2+(y-(2))^2=(3)^2\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so... what would you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so d?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

is it?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

is that what you got?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats what i got, I just dont know if its right tho

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf (x-(-3))^{\color{red}{ 2}}+(y-(-2))^{\color{red}{ 2}}=(3)^{\color{red}{ 2}}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

man another typo.... shoot

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf (x-(-3))^{\color{red}{ 2}}+(y-(2))^{\color{red}{ 2}}=(3)^{\color{red}{ 2}}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

how did you get D anyway?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind I got a. I just figured it out i think
