general form of a circle is \[x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0\] and for this form centre=(-g,-f) \[radius=\sqrt{g^2+f^2-c}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you walk my through this step by step?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

ok the equation given is-\[x^2+y^2-x-2y-\frac{ 11 }{ 4 }=0\\and~the~standard\ equation\ is \\x^2+y^2+2gx+2gy+c=0\\now \ just\ compare\ them\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where does g come in?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

u'll get\[2g=-1\\g=-1/2\\and\\2f=-2\\f=-1\\so \ center=(-g,-f)=(1/2,1)\\radius=\sqrt{g^2+f^2-c}=\sqrt{1/4+1+11/4}=\sqrt{4}=2\]

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

g and f are just the variable terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it has to be A or B?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

for cases like these u just have to compare with with the above standard equation or another process is available ,that is to take it addition of square terms which will look lke\[(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\] u can use any one of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I literally see no similarites this is really hard for me

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

this is not hard you can try with making squares

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait when did it become a square?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

\[x^2+y^2-x-2y-11/4=0\\ [x^2-2.\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 })^2]+[y^2-2.y+1^2]-\frac{ 11 }{ 4 }-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }-1=0\\(x-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 })^2+(y-1)^2=\frac{ 1 6}{ 4 }=4\] getting this? just made two whole squared terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so how do I get the answer

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

so it is of the form \[(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\] compare and u'll find h and k right?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

\[(x-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 })^2+(y-1)^2=4=2^2............(1)\\(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2.................(2)\\so~just~compare~them\]

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

h=1/2 k=1 r=2 seems okay?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

so center=(1/2,1) radius=2 units same answer as before

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's D or E?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait it's E

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

obviously D
