\n" ); document.write( "What is the equation of a circle with a center at (-2, 4) and a radius of 4?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "recall the formula: \"%28x-h%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2+=+r%5E2\" where \"h\" and \"k\" are \"x\" and \"y\" coordinates of the center, and \"r\" is a radius \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-2%29%5E2+%2B+%28y%2B4%29%5E2+=+16\"...here we see that \"h=2\",\"k=-4\" (a center at (\"2\",\"+-4\")), and \"r=4\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "B. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B2%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-4%29%5E2+=+16\"...here we see that \"h=-2\",\"k=4\" (a center at (\"-2\",\"+4\")), and \"r=4\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B2%29%5E2+-+%28y-4%29%5E2+=+16\"...here we see that \"h=-2\",\"k=4\",but this is a hyperbola, not a circle\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-2%29%5E2+-+%28y%2B4%29%5E2+=+16\"........this is a hyperbola, not a circle\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the equation of a circle with a center at (\"-2\",\"+4\") and a radius of \"4\" is \"%28x%2B2%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-4%29%5E2+=+16\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and your answer is B.\r
