1) r=5units

 

Let's see why:

 

First rearrange the terms to make it easier to work with:

x212x+y2+6y=20

 

I have grouped the x- and y-containing terms together. Now, we must use a method called completing the square. In a quadratic term, the equation is ax^2+bx+c=0. In the above equation, however, there is no c-term. To find the missing c-term, do (b/2)^2.

 

x212x+(b12)2+y2+6y+(b22)2=20+(b12)2+(b22)2  Remember, whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other.

x212x+(122)2+y2+6y+(62)2=20+(122)2+(62)2 Substituting the values 

x212x+36+y2+6y+9=20+36+9

x212x+36+y2+6y+9=25

 

Okay, we have manipulating the equation so that the number on the right side of the equation is the r^2, You need not go further with the simplification of this problem as it is only asking for the radius length. We have enough information for this

 

r2=25

r=5unitsOf course, include units in the final answer.

 

2) C=(1,3).

 

Here's why:

 

Just like the previous problem, I will rearrange the terms, so the equation ios easier to handle:

x22x+y26y=1

 

We will use the same process as the previous problem: 

 

x22x+(b12)2+y26y+(b12)2=1+(b12)2+(b22)2

x22x+(22)2+y26y+(62)2=1+(22)2+(62)2

x22x+1+y26y+9=1+1+9

x22x+1+y26y+9=9

 

In this case, the problem is asking for the center of the circle. The standard form for a circle is (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2

, where (h,k) is the center of the circle. However, we still need to manipulate the equation further. :Luckily, x^2+2x+1 and y^2-6y+9 are both perfect square trinomials, which means that they can be represented as (x+(b/2))^2 and (y+(b/2))^2.

 

(x+b12)2+(y+b22)2=9The number that goes for b is always the b coefficient in quadratics. 

(x+22)2+(y+62)2=9Substituting

(x1)2+(y3)2=9Finally, after all this work, we have gotten to the standard equation of a circle. 

 

1=h,so h=1.

3=k,so k=3.

 

The center of a cricle is always (h,k),so the center, or C, is (1,3).
