Find the standard form of the equation of the circle having the following properties.
Center at (-3,2)
Tangent to y-axis
Standard form of the equation is?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since the center is at (-3,2) and the circle is tangent to y-axis,
it means that the radius of the circle is 3 units.


It is the only place in the solution, where you need to strain your mind.


The rest is automatic: the standard form equation of the circle is

    %28x%2B3%29%5E2 + %28y-2%29%5E2= 3%5E2.    ANSWER

Solved.
