Math Problem Statement
Graph the circle (x + 4)^2 + (y + 7)^2 = 1. Use the points to adjust the graph. Moving the center will move the entire figure.
Solution
This image asks for graphing the circle given by the equation:
Key Details:
-
Center of the Circle: The equation is written in the standard form of a circle: where is the center and is the radius. Here:
- (opposite sign of ),
- (opposite sign of ), so the center is .
-
Radius: From the equation , the radius is:
Graphing Instructions:
- Plot the Center: Place a point at .
- Draw the Circle: Use the radius to draw a circle around , ensuring all points are equidistant from the center by 1 unit.
Would you like me to provide a detailed example of graphing circles or explain related concepts?
Here are some related questions you might explore:
- What happens to the circle if the radius increases or decreases?
- How does shifting the center affect the graph of the circle?
- Can the circle's equation be written differently, such as expanded?
- How do you calculate the area and circumference of this circle?
- How can circles be represented parametrically?
Tip: Always confirm the center and radius directly from the equation to avoid sign errors.
