1. Complete the square in order to put the equation into standard form. Identify the center and the radius or explain why the equation does not represent a circle.
Solution:
Center: (0, 2)
Radius = √9 = 3
Thus, this is a equation of a circle with center (0, 2) and radius 3.
2. Find the standard equation of the circle with endpoints of a diameter
and .
Solution:
Center of the circle =
Diameter
Radius = diameter = /2 =
Equation of the circle will be
3. Find an equation of a parabola satisfying ...
