Algebra.Com's Answer #360979 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! formula for circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^ = r^2 \n" ); document.write( "center is at the origin so (h,k) = (0,0) \n" ); document.write( "r^2 = 8^2 = 64 \n" ); document.write( "equation is x^2 + y^2 = 64 \n" ); document.write( "to graph the circle, solve for y. \n" ); document.write( "subtract x^2 from both sides of the equation to get: \n" ); document.write( "y^2 = 64 - x^2 \n" ); document.write( "take the square root of both sides of the equation to get: \n" ); document.write( "y = +/- sqrt(64-x^2) \n" ); document.write( "graph looks like this: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
