This was found by:
Substituting
and
, we get:
so the radius,
The area of a circle is found by:
Substituting
and
we get:
sq. units.
To graph the circle, you first need to find the equation of the circle.
Using the standard form for a circle with center at (h,k) and radius r:
Substitute r = 3.
The center of this circle is located at (-1, 0), so making the appropriate substitutions, we get:
Simplifying, we have:
Now to graph this circle, you have to solve this equation for y and then graph the two solutions on the same coordinate plane.
Solving for y:
Subtract
from both sides.
Expand the right side.
Now take the square root of both sides to get:
and
Now we can graph these two solutions:
(
