Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks to write the standard form of the equation of the circle shown in the diagram.
The standard form of a circle's equation is: where:
- is the center of the circle, and
- is the radius.
From the diagram, we can observe the following:
- The center is at .
- The radius can be found by measuring the distance from the center to a point on the circle, like .
The distance between these two points is simply the horizontal distance (since the -coordinates are the same): Thus, the radius .
Now, we can write the equation of the circle using the standard form: which simplifies to:
This is the standard form of the circle's equation.
