\[x^{2}+y^{2}=7\]

I believe the radius to be about 2.6.
imqwerty (imqwerty):
center =(0,0)
radius =sqrt{7}
imqwerty (imqwerty):
yes sqrt{7}=2.6

Thank you @imqwerty ! I didn't know what to do with the (x,y) values. Much thanks :-)

(:
np
did u get the center?
OpenStudy (maddy1251):
@imqwerty yeah :) I did! I kinda thought it would be either (1,1) or (0,0), just wasn't 100% which it would be
imqwerty (imqwerty):
ok when ever u have this kinda thing compare it with equation of circle
equation of circle-\[(x-h)^2 +(y-k)^2=r^2\]
where (h.k)=center coordinates
r=radius of cricle
OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):
Just remember the equation of a circle
\[\large (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\]
(h,k) is your center

Oh beat me to it haha

@imqwerty and @johnweldon1993 thanks :) I have that formula written down, we are just now starting this stuff.
