General Form of a Circle

• Every binomial squared has been multiplied out.

• Every term is on the left side, equal to 0.

• Squared terms go first in alpha order.

General Form of a Circle

EX 1 Write an equation of a circle with center (3, -2) and a radius of 4.

2 2 2+x h y k r

22 23 + 2 4x y

2 23 + 2 16x y

EX 2 Write an equation of a circle with center (-4, 0) and a diameter of 10.

2 2 2+x h y k r

2 2 24 + 0 5x y

2 24 +y 25x

EX 3 Write an equation of a circle with center (2, -9) and a radius of .

2222 9 11x y

2 2 2+x h y k r

2 22 + 9 11x y

EX 4 Find the coordinates of the center and the measure of the radius.

2 26 + 3 25x y

The center is

The radius is

The equation is

5. Find the center, radius, & equation of the circle.

(0, 0)

12

x2 + y2 = 144

The center is

The radius is

The equation is

6. Find the center, radius, & equation of the circle.

(1, -3)

7

(x – 1)2 + (y + 3)2 = 49

7. Graph the circle, identify the center & radius.(x – 3)2 + (y – 2)2 =

9

Center (3, 2)

Radius of 3

Converting from General to Standard

1. A needs to be 1. Divide if needed.

2. Move the x terms together and the y terms together.

3. Move E to the other side of the equals sign.

4. Complete the square (as needed) for x.

5. Complete the square(as needed) for y.

6. Factor the left & simplify the right.
