Step-by-step solution for: Conic Sections - Circles Practice 1 | PDF | Euclidean Plane ...
Problem Overview:
The task involves writing the standard form and general form equations of circles given their centers and radii. Let's break this down step by step.
#### Standard Form of a Circle
The standard form of the equation of a circle is:
\[
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
\]
where:
- \((h, k)\) is the center of the circle,
- \(r\) is the radius of the circle.
#### General Form of a Circle
The general form of the equation of a circle is:
\[
x^2 + y^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0
\]
This form can be derived from the standard form by expanding and rearranging terms.
---
Part 1: Standard Form Equations
We are given the center \((h, k)\) and radius \(r\) for each circle. Using the standard form \((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\), we can write the equations.
#### Problem 1:
- Center: \((12, -10)\)
- Radius: \(3\)
Substitute into the standard form:
\[
(x - 12)^2 + (y + 10)^2 = 3^2
\]
\[
(x - 12)^2 + (y + 10)^2 = 9
\]
#### Problem 2:
- Center: \((6, 11)\)
- Radius: \(5\)
Substitute into the standard form:
\[
(x - 6)^2 + (y - 11)^2 = 5^2
\]
\[
(x - 6)^2 + (y - 11)^2 = 25
\]
#### Problem 3:
- Center: \((-3, -2)\)
- Radius: \(6\)
Substitute into the standard form:
\[
(x + 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 6^2
\]
\[
(x + 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 36
\]
#### Problem 4:
- Center: \((-3, 8)\)
- Radius: \(3\)
Substitute into the standard form:
\[
(x + 3)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 3^2
\]
\[
(x + 3)^2 + (y - 8)^2 = 9
\]
---
Part 2: General Form Equations
We are given the center \((h, k)\) and radius \(r\) for each circle. First, write the standard form, then expand it to get the general form.
#### Problem 5:
- Center: \((10, -16)\)
- Radius: \(\sqrt{3}\)
Standard Form:
\[
(x - 10)^2 + (y + 16)^2 = (\sqrt{3})^2
\]
\[
(x - 10)^2 + (y + 16)^2 = 3
\]
Expand to General Form:
\[
(x - 10)^2 = x^2 - 20x + 100
\]
\[
(y + 16)^2 = y^2 + 32y + 256
\]
\[
x^2 - 20x + 100 + y^2 + 32y + 256 = 3
\]
\[
x^2 + y^2 - 20x + 32y + 356 = 3
\]
\[
x^2 + y^2 - 20x + 32y + 353 = 0
\]
#### Problem 6:
- Center: \((-15, 2)\)
- Radius: \(2\)
Standard Form:
\[
(x + 15)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 2^2
\]
\[
(x + 15)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4
\]
Expand to General Form:
\[
(x + 15)^2 = x^2 + 30x + 225
\]
\[
(y - 2)^2 = y^2 - 4y + 4
\]
\[
x^2 + 30x + 225 + y^2 - 4y + 4 = 4
\]
\[
x^2 + y^2 + 30x - 4y + 229 = 4
\]
\[
x^2 + y^2 + 30x - 4y + 225 = 0
\]
#### Problem 7:
- Center: \((16, 14)\)
- Radius: \(1\)
Standard Form:
\[
(x - 16)^2 + (y - 14)^2 = 1^2
\]
\[
(x - 16)^2 + (y - 14)^2 = 1
\]
Expand to General Form:
\[
(x - 16)^2 = x^2 - 32x + 256
\]
\[
(y - 14)^2 = y^2 - 28y + 196
\]
\[
x^2 - 32x + 256 + y^2 - 28y + 196 = 1
\]
\[
x^2 + y^2 - 32x - 28y + 452 = 1
\]
\[
x^2 + y^2 - 32x - 28y + 451 = 0
\]
#### Problem 8:
- Center: \((11, 5)\)
- Radius: \(4\)
Standard Form:
\[
(x - 11)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 4^2
\]
\[
(x - 11)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 16
\]
Expand to General Form:
\[
(x - 11)^2 = x^2 - 22x + 121
\]
\[
(y - 5)^2 = y^2 - 10y + 25
\]
\[
x^2 - 22x + 121 + y^2 - 10y + 25 = 16
\]
\[
x^2 + y^2 - 22x - 10y + 146 = 16
\]
\[
x^2 + y^2 - 22x - 10y + 130 = 0
\]

Part 3: Converting Given Equations to Standard Form
We are given equations in the form \((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\) and need to identify the center \((h, k)\) and radius \(r\).
#### Problem 9:
\[
(x + 10)^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 25
\]
- Center: \((-10, 7)\)
- Radius: \(\sqrt{25} = 5\)
#### Problem 10:
\[
(x - 7)^2 + (y - 14)^2 = 19
\]
- Center: \((7, 14)\)
- Radius: \(\sqrt{19}\)
