What is the equation of the following graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

It is a circumference whose center is C=(3,5) and radius R=4 so you have to apply this formula: \[\Large {\left( {x - {x_C}} \right)^2}{\left( {y - {y_C}} \right)^2} = {R^2}\] where x_C, y_C are the coordinates of the center, and R is the radius

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops: I have made a typo, here is the right formula: \[\Large {\left( {x - {x_C}} \right)^2} + {\left( {y - {y_C}} \right)^2} = {R^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is x and y ? @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

there, x and y are the variables, the independent and dependent variable respectively

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

you have to replace x_C with 3, y_C with 5, and R with 4, so what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-x3)^2+(y-y5)^2=16

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

better is: \[\Large {\left( {x - 3} \right)^2} + {\left( {y - 5} \right)^2} = 16\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino yes thats better

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! @audicolen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that would be the equation, correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino so that would be that final equation of the circle correcr
