To solve we use the following expression:
Here (h, k) is the center of the circle, now we solve:
5. We calculate it as follows:
We have to solve now for k:
Now using the quadratic formula we solve:
Now, we have to test each value of k as follows:
We replace the values of k and obtain the following equations:
Now, we test the point given (6, 5):
So, we will proceed as follows since both values are equivalent:
So, both equations represent a circle with radius sqrt(13), with a center at x = 3 and that passes the point (6, 5).
7. We calculate it as follows:
Now, we solve for one of the possible values:
So, its center is located in either (4, 0= 0r (-4, 0), now we proceed as follows:
Now, we test the values: given the point (0, 3):
And we can also see the following graph:
This means, that any of the two equations describe the circle in the text.
