Example Question #7 : Center And Radius Of Circle Functions
What is the sum of the values of the radius and center coordinates (both and ) for the given circle?
Remember that the "shifts" involved with circular functions are sort of like those found in parabolas. When you shift a parabola left or right, you have to think "oppositely". A right shift requires you to subtract from the x-component, and a left one requires you to add. Hence, this circle has a negative 5 horizontal shift, and a negative 22 vertical shift.
You can also remember the general formula for a circle with center at and a radius of .
Comparing this to the given equation, we can determine the radius and center point.
The center point is at and the circle has a radius of 11.
The question asks us for the sum of these components:
Example Question #8 : Center And Radius Of Circle Functions
What is the sum of the values of the radius and center coordinates (both and ) for the given circle?
Remember that the "shifts" involved with circular functions are sort of like those found in parabolas. When you shift a parabola left or right, you have to think "oppositely". A right shift requires you to subtract from the x-component, and a left one requires you to add. Hence, this circle has a positive 50 horizontal shift, and a negative 29 vertical shift.
You can also remember the general formula for a circle with center at and a radius of .
Comparing this to the given equation, we can determine the radius and center point.
The center point is at and the circle has a radius of 13.
The question asks us for the sum of these components:
Example Question #81 : Quadratic Functions
What is the equation of the above circle?
The equation for a circle of radius centered on point has the equation
Just as with linear equations, the horizontal and vertical shifts are opposite of their sign, and are inside the parentheses. The equation of a circle simply must be memorized.
So the circle is centered on point , and plug those in and it yields the formula of the circle.
Example Question #82 : Quadratic Functions
A circle is graphed by the equation What is the distance from the center of the circle to the point on a standard coordinate plane?
First determine the center of the circle. The "x-3" portion of the circle equation tells us that the x coordinate is equal to 3. The "y-3" portion of the circle equation tells us that the y coordinate is equal to 3 as well. Therefore, the center of the circle is at (3,3).
To find the distance between (3,3) and (0,0), it is necessary to use the Pythagorean Theorem . Where "a" and "b" are equal to 3
(to visualize, you may draw the two points on a graph, and create a triangle. The line connecting the two points is the hypotenuse, aka "c." )
Example Question #82 : Quadratic Functions
Find the center and radius for the equation:
Write the standard form for the equation of a circle.
The value of is and the value of is . The center of the circle is:
To find the radius, set and solve for .
Take the square root of both sides. We only consider the positive value since distance cannot be negative.
The answer is:
