A circle is the set of all the points that have equal distance r, called the radius, to a fixed point C which is called the center.

(x, y)
Let (h, k) be the center of a circle and r be the radius. Suppose (x, y) is a point on the circle, then the distance between (x, y) and the center is r. Hence,
(h, k)
r = (x – h)2 + (y – k)2
orr2 = (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 This is called the standard form of circles. Given an equation of this form, we can easily identify the center and the radius.

Example E. Use completing the square to find the center and radius of x2 – 6x + y2 + 12y = –36. Find the top, bottom, left and right most points. Graph it.
We use completing the square to put the equation into the standard form:x2 – 6x + + y2 + 12y + = –36 complete the squares x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 + 12y + 36 = –36 + 9 + 36 ( x – 3 )2 + (y + 6)2 = 9 ( x – 3 )2 + (y + 6)2 = 32 Hence the center is (3, –6),and radius is 3.

Hyperbolas
Given two fixed points, called foci, a hyperbola is the set of points whose difference of the distances to the foci is a constant.

Parabolas
Given a fixed point F, and a line L, the points that are of equal distance from F the line L is a parabola. Hence a = A, b = B, c = C as shown below.For more information, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabola
Finally, we illustrate the definition that’s based on distance measurements of the parabolas.
