x^2 + y^2 – 16 = 0

OpenStudy (sepeario):

and what would you like to solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's a circle and i guess the formula is (x-h)^2 + 9y-k)^2 = r^2

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes and h and k are both 0 which means that the center is at the origin

OpenStudy (welshfella):

and what do you think the radius is?

OpenStudy (sepeario):

wait i get the equation now but what does he want to solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*she; and i'm not sure how to get the radius. is the equation (x-0)^2 + (y-0)^2 = __

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the right side = r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16^2?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the square of the radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be 16^2?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

no r^2 = 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh so r is four

OpenStudy (welshfella):

x^2 + y^2 = 16

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alrighty then thank you!
