Q. Identify the center and radius.(x−2)2+(y+3)2=36
Recognize standard form: Recognize the standard form of a circle's equation.The equation (x−2)2+(y+3)2=36 is already in the standard form (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2, where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.
Identify center: Identify the center (h,k) from the equation.From (x−2)2+(y+3)2=36, h=2 and k=−3. So, the center is (2,−3).
Determine radius: Determine the radius r. The radius squared, r2, is 36. Taking the square root of both sides, r=36=6.
