Find the center and radius of the circle.
A) (0, 1); 6
B) ( 1, 0); 36
C) ( 1, 0); 6
D) ( -1, 0); 6

The standard equation of a circle is

whose center is and whose radius is .

Write as and as

When you compare that to

you see that h=1, k=0, r=6
So the center is (h,k) = (1,0) and the radius is r = 6
This is the graph:
