Which is an equation of a circle with center (-10, 6) and radius 8?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

The (vertex form of the) equation of a circle is: \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle (x-{\rm \color{red}{h}} )^2+ (y-{\rm \color{blue}{k}} )^2 = {\rm \color{green}{r}} }\) Where \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle({\rm \color{red}{h}} ,~{\rm \color{blue}{k}} )}\) is the center of the circle. AND, \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm \color{green}{r}} }\) is the radius of the circle.

im confused still this stumps me..

what did u get?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

LETS GO BACKWARDS. \(\scriptsize\color{ slate }{\scriptsize{\bbox[5pt, royalblue ,border:2px solid royalblue ]{~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ }}}\) In general, \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle({\rm \color{red}{h}} ,~{\rm \color{blue}{k}} )}\) is the center of the circle. AND, \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm \color{green}{r}} }\) is the radius of the circle. \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle (x-{\rm \color{red}{h}} )^2+ (y-{\rm \color{blue}{k}} )^2 = {\rm \color{green}{r}} }\) \(\scriptsize\color{ slate }{\scriptsize{\bbox[5pt, royalblue ,border:2px solid royalblue ]{~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ }}}\) In your case, \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle({\rm \color{red}{h}} ,~{\rm \color{blue}{k}} )}\) is the center of the circle, is (IN YOUR CASE) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle({\rm \color{red}{-10}} ,~{\rm \color{blue}{6}} )}\) AND, \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm \color{green}{r}} }\) is the radius of the circle, is (IN YOUR CASE) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm \color{green}{8}} }\) So, how would you fill in the equation of the circle? ( Also remember that for any numbers "a" and "b" , ` a - - a = a + a ` For example, `14- -13 = 14+13 = 27 ` )

would you like some examples, of actual (not abstract) equations of the circle problems, similar to your's ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

honestly im so frustrated with this i would just like the anwser i appreciate you trying to get me to undertand

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am not going to give the answer, if you would like an example though, then I can give you a bunch

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I wrote the equation incoirrectly, btw. The left side in equation always has r^2 (not just r)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i appreciate you trying to get me to understand, ive been trying for the past 2 hours and ive gotta go to work now and this worksheet is due tommorow morning so thats why i really just needed the anwser.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

these are some examples

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still am not following you :(

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I have given you all information and examples....

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

idk what to tell you then. I am really not allowed to give out answer. If you want answers go to yahoo, here we "learn". I can verify the answer, give you tips, examples etc... but doing your work and answers for you is not what I am authorized to do.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

sorry

OpenStudy (freckles):

@scott895 there is really no math for you to do here all you are doing is replacing variables \[(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 \\ \text{ where } (h,k) \text{ is center } \text{ and } r \text{ is radius }\] you are given (h,k)=(-10,6) and r=8 So just make the proper substitutions in the equation given here.

OpenStudy (freckles):

give it your best shot and we will check it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x - 10)2 + (y + 6)2 = 8
