Math Problem Statement

What is the equation of the circle with radius r = √2 and center (0, 3)?

Solution

The image shows the following mathematical expression:

r=2;(h,k)=(0,3)r = \sqrt{2}; \quad (h, k) = (0, 3)

This represents the equation of a circle in standard form, where:

  • rr is the radius of the circle, given as 2\sqrt{2}.
  • (h,k)(h, k) is the center of the circle, which is at the point (0,3)(0, 3).

Using this information, the general equation for a circle is given by:

(xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

Substituting the values of h=0h = 0, k=3k = 3, and r=2r = \sqrt{2}, we get:

(x0)2+(y3)2=(2)2(x - 0)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = (\sqrt{2})^2

Simplifying:

x2+(y3)2=2x^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 2

This is the equation of the circle with a center at (0,3)(0, 3) and a radius of 2\sqrt{2}.

Would you like further details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:

  1. How would the equation change if the center was at (2,1)(2, -1)?
  2. What is the area of the circle based on the given radius?
  3. How can we convert the standard form of a circle equation to its general form?
  4. How would the equation look if the radius was doubled?
  5. What is the length of the diameter of this circle?

Tip: The general form of a circle is x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0x^2 + y^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0, and it can be derived from the standard form by expanding and rearranging terms.
