\[x ^{2}-6x+y ^{2}-12y+41=0\]

i got|dw:1403161070979:dw| aaaand im stuck
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the standard form of circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

@ganeshie8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know where i was going with the factoring

good try, but looks like there is a mistake
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\large x ^{2}-6x+y ^{2}-12y+41=0\)
step1 : group the variable terms separately
\(\large (x ^{2}-6x)+(y ^{2}-12y) = -41\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
step2 : complete the square for the stuff inside parenthesis
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
6/2 = 3
so add 3^2 both sides
12/2 = 6
so add 6^2 both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh is it just (x-3)^2+(y-6)^2

Yes !
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh and i add the 9 and 36 to -41?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Exactly !
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to get 4
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yess

center is at (3,6) so i can get the h,k and put it in the standard form for a circle, but how do i find r? or is the r the 4?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
again, what is the standard form of circle ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{^{2}}=r ^{2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
and you got :
\[(x-3)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 4\]

\(\implies r^2 = 4\)
\(r = ?\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(x-3)^{2}+(y-6)^{2}=r ^{2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so r=2
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Correct !!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yay, thanks!!!
