Write an equation of circle C based on the given information.

1. A circle with center at the origin and passing through (4,0).
Solution: By drawing the graph of the circle, the radius is 4 units. If the center
is at (0,0) and the radius is 4 units, then the equation of the
circle is x2 + y2 = 16

Another solution is find the distance of the center from the point (4,0) which
will be the length of the radius.

r = √(4 − 0)2 + (0 − 0)2

r = √42
r = √16
r = 4 units

2. A circle with endpoints of the diameter ( 5 , -3 ) and ( 1, 9 )

Solution: Find the midpoint of the This time find the distance between the
diameter which will be the midpoint and one of the endpoint of the
center of the circle. diameter.This will be the length of the radius.

Given: C ( 3, 3 ) and r = 2 √10 so the equation of the circle is

( x – 3 )2 + ( y – 3 )2 = (2 √10 )2 OR ( x – 3 )2 + ( y – 3 )2 = 4
