Topic: Graphing circles

Question: Which circle is the graph of (x − 2)2 + (y + 3)2 = 4?

Answer choices:

A A

B B

C C

D D

18
Solution: D

Given

(x − 2)2 + (y + 3)2 = 4

we can put this in the form (x − h)2 + (y − k)2 = r 2 by rewriting it.

(x − 2)2 + [y − (−3)] = 22
2

We can see that h = 2, k = − 3, and r = 2.

The circle with center (2, − 3) and radius 2 is D.

Topic: Graphing circles

Question: What is the equation of the given circle?

Answer choices:

A x 2 − 10x + y 2 + 16 = 0

B x 2 + y 2 + 10y + 16 = 0

C x 2 + y 2 − 10y + 16 = 0

D x 2 + 10x + y 2 + 16 = 0

20
Solution: C

The given circle has a center at (0,5) and a radius of 3. That tells us that
h = 0, k = 5, and r = 3.

Substitute those values into (x − k)2 + (y − k)2 = r 2, then expand and simplify.

(x − 0)2 + (y − 5)2 = 32

x 2 + y 2 − 10y + 25 = 9

x 2 + y 2 − 10y + 16 = 0

This matches answer choice C.
