document.write( "Question 581859: Hello there, I have a project due monday about graphing circles using my ti-83.
\n" ); document.write( "there are four assingment and the 1st of four is to graph a few concetric circles with an origin of (0,0).
\n" ); document.write( "I must write my equations in (x+h) squared + (y-K) squared = radius squared.
\n" ); document.write( "but then I must solve for y
\n" ); document.write( ". what i dont understand is how to solve for y
\n" ); document.write( "please give me an example on how to do this problem then i can do the rest on my own. Thanks
\n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A circle with radius r, centered at point (h,k) has the equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-h%29%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2=r%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Your circles, centered at (0,0) will have the equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2By%5E2=r%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "For a radius of 2, since \"2%5E2=4\", the equation would be
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2By%5E2=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solving for y, you will get two functions, representing the top half of the circle, and the bottom half of the circle.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2By%5E2=4\" --> \"y%5E2=4-x%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then for the top half
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=sqrt%284-x%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "and for the bottom half
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-sqrt%284-x%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
