Identify standard form: Identify the standard form of a circle's equation.The standard form of a circle's equation is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2, where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.
Compare to given equation: Compare the given equation to the standard form.The given equation is x2+(y+4)2=1. To match the standard form, we can see that h=0 and k=−4, since there is no (x−h) term and the (y+4) term corresponds to (y−(−4)).
Determine the radius: Determine the radius of the circle.The right side of the equation is 1, which is the radius squared. Therefore, the radius r is the square root of 1, which is 1.
Identify center and radius: Identify the center and radius from the comparison.The center of the circle is (h,k)=(0,−4), and the radius is 1.
