A. Readings/Discussions :
A circle on a coordinate plane can be described by an equation that can be written in
different forms.
Task 1. Find the equation of a circle with center at (4,2) and a radius of 4 units.
Discussion: If the center of the circle is at the point C (h,k), with radius r , and P(x,y) is any
point on the circle,then CP = r. By using the distance formula, we get
√(𝑥 − ℎ)2 + (𝑦 − 𝑘)2 = r
(x - h)2 + (y – k )2 = r2
This is called the center – radius form or the standard form of the equation of the circle
with center at (h,k) and a radius of r units. By substitution ,the equation of the circle is
(x - 4)2 + (y – 2)2 = 42 or (x - 4)2 + (y – 2)2 = 16.
Task 2. Find the equation of a circle with center at ( - 6 , 4 ) and a radius of 8 units.
Discussion:Substituting 8 for r in the center – radius form or the standard form of an
equation of a circle with (h, k ) = ( - 6 , 4 ), you will get
[x-(-6)]2+(y-4)2 = 82 or (x+6)2 + (y – 4 )2 = 64.
Task 3. Write the equation of a circle with center at ( - 5 , - 7 ) and a radius of 12 units.
Discussion: By substitution, the equation of the circle is
[x – (-5)]2 + [y – ( - 7 )]2 = 122 or ( x + 5 )2 + ( y + 7 )2 = 144.
Task 4. Write the equation of a circle with center at the origin and a radius of 5 units.
Discussion:If the center of the circle is at the origin, the equation is x2 + y2 = r2.
Substitute 5 for r in the equation is x2 + y2 = r2 ,therefore the equation of the
circle with center at the origin and a radius of 5 units is x2+y2=52 or x2 + y2 = 25.
Task 5. Find the equation of a circle with center at the origin and a radius of 10√3 units.
Discussion: By substitution , the equation of the circle is
x2+y2 = (10√3 )2 or x2 + y2 = 300.
Task 6. Write the general equation of a circle with center C( - 3 , 2) and a radius of 9 units.
Then determine the values of D,E, and F.
Discussion: If the center – radius form of the circle , (x - h)2 + (y – k )2 = r2 , is expanded , it
will result to the general equation of a circle , which is x2 + y2 + Dx+ Ey+ F = 0 , where D,E,
and F are real numbers.
(x – h)2 + ( y – k)2 = r2 → ( x2 – 2hx+h2) + (y2 – 2ky+k2 ) = r 2
x2 – 2hx+h2 + y2 – 2ky+k2 = r 2
x2 + y2 – 2hx – 2ky + h2 + k2 = r 2
x2 + y2 – 2hx – 2ky + h2 + k2 - r 2 = 0
If D = - 2h and E = - 2k ,and F = h2 + k2 – r 2 , the equation x2 + y2 – 2hx – 2ky + h2 + k2 - r
2
= 0 becomes x2 + y2 +Dx + Ey + F = 0.
The center of the circle is at (h,k), where h = - 3 and k = 2. Substitute these values in the
standard form of the equation of a circle together with the length of the radius r which is equal
to 9 units.
(x – h)2 + ( y – k)2 = r2 → ( x – ( - 3 ))2 + ( y – 2 )2 = 92
 Simplify : ( x+3)2 + ( y – 2 )2 = 81
( x+3)2 + ( y – 2 )2 = 81 → (x2+6x+9) + (y2 – 4y +4 ) = 81
x2+6x+9 + y2 – 4y +4 = 81
x2 + y2 +6x – 4y +13 = 81
x2 + y2 +6x – 4y +13 – 81 = 0
x2 + y2 + 6x – 4y - 68 = 0
Answer : x + y + 6x – 4y - 68 = 0 is the general equation of the circle with center
2 2

C (-3, 2) and radius of 9 units. In the equation , D = 6 , E = - 4 , and F = - 68 .

Task 7 : Find the equation in general form of the circle whose center is at ( 0, 3) and passing
through the point ( - 2 , 1) .
Discussion:The equation of the circle can be determined if its center and radius are given.
Thus, find the radius of the circle first by using the distance formula. Hence, we have
r = distance between (0,3) and ( - 2 , 1)
r = √(0 − (−2)2 + (3 − 1)2
r = √4 + 4
r = √8 or 2√2 .
Substituting the radius r and the center ( h,k ) in the form ( x – h )2 + ( y – k)2 = r 2, we
have
(x– 0) 2 + ( y – 3 )2 = (2√2 )2
(x – 0 ) 2 + ( y – 3 )2 = 8.
Transforming into general equation, we have x2+y2 – 6y +9 = 8 or x2 + y2 – 6y + 1 = 0.
