Answer:

(x -4)² +(y +3)³ = 4

Explanation:

Each circle is centered on (h, k) = (4, -3). Each circle has a radius 1 unit smaller than the circle just outside of it. The innermost circle shown has a radius of 3, so the next in the pattern of smaller circles will have a radius of 2. The equation for a circle centered at (h, k) with radius r is ...

(x -h)² +(y -k)² = r²

The next circle in the pattern is centered at (4, -3) and has radius 2, so its equation is ...

(x -4)² +(y +3)² = 4
