State the coordinates of the center and the measure of the radius

 

1. x^2 + y^2 - 4 = 0

 

2. X^2 + Y^2 + 6x = 6y + 9 = 0

circle equation is in the format (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2, with the center being at the point (h, k) and r= radius

 

Put in standard form:

1  x^2 + y^2  = 4        4 = r^2   in this form    so r = sqrt4 = 2    the cente is  0,0

 

#2 (I THINK that first = is supposed to be a +)

  (x^2 +6x) + (Y^2+6y) = - 9    Complete the squares   (do you know how to do this?)

 

     (x^2 +6x +9) + (y^2+-6y +9) = -9 + 9 + 9

      (x+3)^2  +  (y+3)^2  = 9                               Now it is in a standard form   r^2 =9   r= sqrt9 = 3

                                                                            the center is -3,-3
