DETERMINE THE CENTER AND
RADIUS OF A CIRCLE GIVEN ITS
EQUATION AND VICE-VERSA
The standard equation of a
circle with the center at and a
radius of units is =
 If the center of the circle is at
(0, 0) the origin, the equation of the
0,
0 circle is

How do you write the equation of a circle given its
radius if the center is at the origin?
How about if the center is not at (0,0)?
Suppose two circles have the same center. Should the
equations defining these circles be the same? Why?
The center and the radius of the circle can be found
given the equation.
To do this, the equation of the circle should be in
standard form. Remember that the equation will be
with the center , or if the center of the circle is at the
origin.
