This video tutorial by Kirk Weiler covers Unit 9, Lesson 10 on placing a circle in standard form. It begins with a review of circle equations, focusing on identifying the center and radius. The lesson then delves into the process of completing the square, a technique used to convert circle equations into standard form. The video includes practice problems and demonstrates how to graph circles and lines to solve systems of equations. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding the algebraic manipulation required to work with circle equations effectively.

What is the general equation of a circle?

• (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2

• x^2 - y^2 = r^2

• x^2 + y^2 = r^2

• x^2 + y^2 + r^2 = 0
