Recognize standard form: Step 1: Recognize the standard form of a circle's equation. The standard form is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2, where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius. Given equation: x2+(y+2)2=64
Compare with standard form: Step 2: Compare the given equation with the standard form to find h, k, and r. From x2+(y+2)2=64, we can see it matches (x−0)2+(y+2)2=64. Thus, h=0, k=−2.
Identify radius: Step 3: Identify the radius.The radius squared, r2, is 64.To find r, take the square root of 64: r=64=8.
