Q. What is the radius of the circle x2+y2−49=0?Simplify any fractions.____
Move Constant: Move the constant to the other side to isolate the terms with x and y. Add 49 to both sides of the equation. x2+y2−49+49=0+49x2+y2=49
Identify Radius Squared: Identify the radius squared r2 from the equation.The standard form of a circle is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2, where r is the radius.Comparing x2+y2=49 to the standard form, we see that r2=49.
Calculate Radius: Calculate the radius r by taking the square root of r2.r=49r=7
