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:
