Question 468795: write the standard form of the equation of the circle with the radius sqrt30 and whose center is the origin

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the formula for a circle is:
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
you have r = sqrt(30) so r^2 = 30
(h,k) is the center of the circle.
since this is the origin, the center of the circle is at (0,0).
this makes h = 0 and k = 0.
your formula becomes:
x^2 + y^2 = 30
