find an equation of the circle with center (7, -2) and radius square root of 5
:
The standard form of a circle is: highlight%28%28x-h%29%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2=r%5E2%29, where (h,k)=center and r=radius.
(h,k)=(7,-2) r=sqrt%285%29
%28x-7%29%5E2%2B%28y-%28-2%29%29%5E2=%28sqrt%285%29%29%5E2
highlight%28%28x-7%29%5E2%2B%28y%2B2%29%5E2=5%29
Happy Calculating!!!!
