Question 944313: An equation of a circle is written in standard form. Indicate the coordinates of the center of the circle and determine the radius of the circle.
(x − 7/2)2 + (y − 1)2 = 17
center(x, y) = ( , )
radius
Rewrite the equation of the circle in general form.
= 0

An equation of a circle is written in standard form. Indicate the coordinates of the center of the circle and determine the radius of the circle.
(x − 7/2)2 + (y − 1)2 = 17
------
Standard form is %28x%2Bh%29%5E2+%2B+%28y%2Bk%29%5E2+=+r%5E2 where the center is (h,k) and the radius is r.
Rewrite the equation of the circle in general form.
Just expand the squares of the binomials and simplifly.
I don't need the practice.
You do.
