Find the center h k and radius r of the circle with the give
Find the center (h, k) and radius r of the circle with the given equation.
x^2+ 4x + 4 + y^2 - 8y + 16 = 49
Solution
x2+ 4x + 4 + y2 - 8y + 16 = 4
(x2+ 2*2*x + 22) + (y2 - 2*4*y + 42) = 4
(x + 2)2 + (y - 4)2 = 22
(x - (-2))2 + (y - 4)2 = 22
(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2 is the equation of circle with centre (h,k) and radius r
centre =(-2,4), radius =2 units
