Q. What is the center of the circle x2+y2−121=0?Simplify any fractions.(_,_)
Move Constant Other Side:x2+y2−121=0 Move the constant to the other side. Add 121 on both sides. x2+y2−121+121=0+121x2+y2=121
Add Constant Both Sides:x2+y2=121Find the values of h and k compared to (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2.Standard form of a circle: (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2Comparing the standard form and x2+y2=121, we see that:h=0k=0
Find Values Compared: We found:h=0k=0What is the center of the circle x2+y2−121=0?Substitute 0 for h and 0 for k in (h,k).Center of circle: (0,0)
