Write the equation of the circle whose center is at the origin and whose diameter is 12.
center is at the origin, (that is center at point (0,0), so h=0, k=0) diameter is one half of the radius, so if diameter is 12 then radius is how long? (hope you got this part, and now I will remind you to equation of the circle form) \(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle (x-{\bf \color{red}{h}} )^2+ (y-{\bf \color{blue}{k}} )^2 = {\bf \color{green}{r}}^2 }\) Where 1) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle({\rm \color{red}{h}} ,~{\rm \color{blue}{k}} )}\) is the \(\normalsize\color{red}{ \bf c\color{blue}{e}n\color{blue}{t}e\color{blue}{r} }\) of the circle. 2) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm \color{green}{r}} }\) is the \(\normalsize\color{green}{ \bf radius }\) of the circle.
There is no picture for me to find out what the middle of the circle is!?
you don't need pics
do you know how to fill out the \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle (x-{\rm \color{red}{h}} )^2+ (y-{\rm \color{blue}{k}} )^2 }\) ?
no
well, your center is (0,0) that means h=0 k=0
something isn't clear?
What do you mean!?
I am asked you if you are confused about something in my explanation? I am asking you that because you don't seem to manage to fill out the left side of the equation of the circle ((( The equation of the circle: \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle (x-{\rm \color{red}{h}} )^2+ (y-{\rm \color{blue}{k}} )^2 = {\rm \color{green}{r}}^2 }\) )))
Got it thanks!
oh you got the equation of the circle? ok then...
