Define Conic and conic sections
Describe circle
Find out the standard equation of a circle.
Appreciate the different properties of conic
(x-h)2+(y-k)2 = a2
which is called the standard form for the equation of a
circle.
Example # 1:
Consider a circle whose centre is at the origin
and radius is equal to 8 units.
Solution:
Given: Centre is (0, 0), radius is 8 units.
We know that the equation of a circle when
the centre is origin:
x2+ y2 = a2
For the given condition, the equation of a
circle is given as x2 + y2 = 82
x2 + y2= 64, which is the equation
of a circle
Example #2
Find the equation of the circle whose centre
is (3,5) and the radius is 4 units.
Solution:
Here, the centre of the circle is not an origin.
Therefore, the general equation of the circle
is,
(x-3)2 + (y-5)2 = 42
x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 -10y +25 = 16
x2 +y2 -6x -10y + 18 =0
Example # 3
Equation of a circle is x2+y2−12x−16y+19=0. Find the
centre and radius of the circle.
Solution:
Given equation is of the
form x2+ y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0,
2g = −12, 2f = −16,c = 19
g = −6,f = −8
Centre of the circle is (6,8)
Radius of the circle
= √[(−6)2 + (−8)2 − 19 ]= √[100 − 19] =
= √81 = 9 units.
Therefore, the radius of the circle is 9 units.
