Find the equation of the circle which passes through two points on the X axis which are at distances 4 units from the origin and whose radius is 5 units.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two such circles and, correspondingly, two equations.
The first circle has the center on the y-axis at y=3.
= .
The second circle has the center on the y-axis at y=-3.
= .
