Need help with a Conic Sections equation? Identify the Center and Radius for the following equation:
\[x^{2}+y^{2}=7\]
I believe the radius to be about 2.6.
center =(0,0) radius =sqrt{7}
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?
@imqwerty yeah :) I did! I kinda thought it would be either (1,1) or (0,0), just wasn't 100% which it would be
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
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
lol
@imqwerty and @johnweldon1993 thanks :) I have that formula written down, we are just now starting this stuff.
np (B
Of course, and don't worry...they don't get too bad :D
@johnweldon1993 Hopefully not.. xD
