Compare the posted equation to that of the attached standard equation. Pick out the center and radius.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please compare your formula with this one: \[(x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}=r ^{2}\] which is the equation of a circumference whose center is the point (a,b) and whose radius is r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am completely lost on this one, sorry :/.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I re-write your equation as below: \[\left( x-\frac{ 5 }{ 2 } \right)^{2}+\left( y-\left( \frac{ 27 }{ 5 } \right) \right)^{2}=\frac{ 11 }{ 100 }\] what are a, b and r?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops... I have made an error of sign, I re-write your equation: \[\left( x-\frac{ 5 }{ 2 } \right)^{2}+\left( y-\left( -\frac{ 27 }{ 5 } \right) \right)^{2}=\frac{ 121 }{ 100 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Doesn't it just go in order? 1:a , 2:b, and 3:r?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please you have to compare both equations, fr example, we have: \[a=\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that's what I meant. a= 5/2 and b = -27/5 and r = 121/100

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

wait please we have: \[r=\frac{ 11 }{ 10 }\] since it is: \[r ^{2}=\frac{ 121 }{ 100 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, ok, sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is C, correct?

@Judach Would you type in your equation? (LaTex free, please)
