Example Question #10 :Graphing Circle Functions
Which equation does this graph represent?
The equation of a circle is, in which (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is its radius. Because the graph of the circle is centered at (0, 0), h and k are both 0. Because the radius is 3, the right side of the equation is equal to 9.
Example Question #11 :Graphing Circle Functions
Which equation does this graph represent?
The equation of a circle is, in which (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is its radius. Because the graph of the circle is centered at (2, -3), h and k are -2 and 3. Because the radius is 4, the right side of the equation is equal to 16.
Example Question #1 :Center And Radius Of Circle Functions
Consider a circle given by the formula:
.
This circle has a radius of ________ and is located at the point _________.
The formula for a circle of radius, centered at the pointis given by the general equation:
In this case, the radius is the square root of, which is six, and the center is at
Example Question #1 :Center And Radius Of Circle Functions
What is the center and radius of the circle described by the equation:
(0,-2); r=6
(0,2); r=6
(0,2); r=36
(0,-2); r=36
(0,-2); r=6
The standard equation for a circle is:
Therefore, the radius is 6 and the center is located at (0,-2)
Example Question #1 :Quadratic Functions
Find the radius of the circle given by the equation:
To find the center or the radius of a circle, first put the equation in the standard form for a circle:, whereis the radius andis the center.
From our equation, we see that it has not yet been factored, so we must do that now. We can use the formula.
, so.
and, soand.
Therefore,.
Because the constant, in this case 4, was not in the original equation, we need to add it to both sides:
Now we do the same for:
We can now find:
Example Question #4 :Center And Radius Of Circle Functions
Find the center of the circle given by the equation:
To find the center or the radius of a circle, first put the equation in standard form:, whereis the radius andis the center.
From our equation, we see that it has not yet been factored, so we must do that now. We can use the formula.
, so.
and, soand.
This gives.
因为常数,在这种情况下,并不在the original equation, we must add it to both sides:
Now we do the same for:
We can now find the center: (3, -9)
Example Question #5 :Center And Radius Of Circle Functions
What is the center of the circular function?
Remember that the "shifts" involved with circular functions are sort of like those found in parabolas. When you shift a parabola left or right, you have to think "oppositely". A right shift requires you to subtract from the x-component, and a left one requires you to add. Hence, this circle has no horizontal shift, but does shift 6 upward for the vertical component.

比较this to the given equation, we can determine the center point.
The center point is at (0,6) and the circle has a radius of 5.
Example Question #2 :Center And Radius Of Circle Functions
What is the center of the circle described by?
Remember that the shifts for circles work in an opposite manner from what you might think. They are like the parabola's x-component. Hence, a subtracted variable actually means a shift up or to the right, for the vertical and horizontal components respectively. Since the x-component has a "+5", it is shifted left 5. Since the y-component has a, it is shifted upward 12. Therefore, this circle has a center at.

比较this to the given equation, we can determine the center point.
The center point is atand the circle has a radius of 6.
Example Question #3 :Center And Radius Of Circle Functions
What is the radius of the circle with equation?
Remember that for the equation of a circle, the lone number to the right of the equals sign is the radius squared.
The general formula for a circle with center atand a radius ofis:
比较this to the given equation, we can determine the radius.
The center point is atand the circle has a radius of 9.
Example Question #8 :Center And Radius Of Circle Functions
What is the sum of the values of the radius and center coordinates (bothand) for the given circle?
Remember that the "shifts" involved with circular functions are sort of like those found in parabolas. When you shift a parabola left or right, you have to think "oppositely". A right shift requires you to subtract from the x-component, and a left one requires you to add. Hence, this circle has a positive 3 horizontal shift, and a negative 2 vertical shift.
