Question

Today you will need to look at the following problem and explain what Susan did incorrectly. You can explain what she did incorrectly and how to do it correctly

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

The equation of a circle can be written as

( x-h) ^2 + (y-k) ^2 = r^2

( x-3)^2 + (y+4) ^2 = 36

Rewriting this equation

( x - 3)^2 + ( y - -4)^2 = 6^2

The center is at (3,-4) and the radius is at 6

Susan did not use the formula correctly.

It is x-h and y-k so she needed to rewrite to get the equation in the proper form

Also the radius is r^2 not r/2
