Find the center (h, k) and radius r of each circle.

OpenStudy (steve816):

\[2(x-3)^2+2y^2=8\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

try to get the equation into the form \[\Large (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\]

OpenStudy (steve816):

I divided the entire equation by 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

great start

OpenStudy (steve816):

I got \[(x-3)^2+y^2=4\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then what?

OpenStudy (steve816):

Hmm, is this the standard form?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah more or less. Do you see what the center is? what the radius is?

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

oo could i give the answer?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let steve try it out

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

ok could i give a hint?

OpenStudy (steve816):

Oooh I think I figured it out, the center is (3, 0) and the radius is 2.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

OpenStudy (steve816):

Thank you, but now I need to find the x and y-intercepts. How do I do that?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

@jackthegreatest yes you can give hints as that helps better than just giving the answer

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

: )

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

lol k

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

to find the y intercept(s), you plug in x = 0 and solve for y to find the x intercept(s), you plug in y = 0 and solve for x

OpenStudy (steve816):

Alright, thanks :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no problem
