What is the radius of the circle given by the equation $$(x + 4)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 36$$ ?

The radius is 6, since $$r = \text{sqrt}(36) = 6$$ .

What is the radius of the circle given by the equation $$(x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9$$ ?

The radius is 3, since $$r = \text{sqrt}(9) = 3$$ .

What is the general form of the equation of a circle?

The general form is $$x^2 + y^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0$$ .

How can you convert the general form of a circle's equation to standard form?

You can complete the square for both x and y terms to convert to standard form.

What is the significance of the constant term in the equation of a circle?

The constant term determines the size of the circle, specifically the radius.

If a circle's equation is given as $$(x - 5)^2 + (y + 6)^2 = 4$$ , what is the radius?

The radius is 2, since $$r = \text{sqrt}(4) = 2$$ .

What does it mean if the radius of a circle is zero?

If the radius is zero, the circle is actually a point located at the center (h, k).

What is the relationship between the radius and the area of a circle?

The area A of a circle is given by the formula $$A = \text{pi} r^2$$ , where r is the radius.

How do you graph a circle given its equation?

Identify the center (h, k) and the radius r, then plot the center and draw a circle with radius r around it.
