MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Mrs. Culland is finding the center of a circle whose equation is x2 + y2 + 6x + 4y – 3 = 0 by completing the square. Her work is shown.

x2 + y2 + 6x + 4y – 3 = 0

x2 + 6x + y2 + 4y – 3 = 0

(x2 + 6x) + (y2 + 4y) = 3

(x2 + 6x + 9) + (y2 + 4y + 4) = 3 + 9 + 4

Which completes the work correctly?

(x – 3)2 + (y – 2)2 = 42, so the center is (3, 2).

(x + 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = 42, so the center is (3, 2).

(x 3)2 + (y 2)2= 42, so the center is (3, 2).

(x + 3)2 + (y + 2)2 = 42, so the center is (3, 2).

In the diagram, a circle centered at the origin, a right triangle, and the Pythagorean theorem are used to derive the equation of a circle, x2 + y2 = r2.

If the center of the circle were moved from the origin to the point (h, k) and point P at (x, y) remains on the edge of the circle, which could represent the equation of the new circle?

(h + x)2 + (k + y)2 = r2

(x – h)2 + (y – k)2= r2

(k + x)2 + (h + y)2 = r2

(x – k)2 + (y – h)2 = r2

Which equation represents a circle with a center at (–4, 9) and a diameter of 10 units?

(x – 9)2 + (y + 4)2 = 25

(x + 4)2 + (y – 9)2 = 25

(x – 9)2 + (y + 4)2 = 100

(x + 4)2 + (y – 9)2 = 100

What is the equation of the circle, with centre (3,8) and radius 4 units?

(x - 3)2 + (y - 8)2 = 4
(x - 3)2 + (y - 8)2 = 16
(x + 3)2 + (y + 8)2 = 16
(x + 3)2 + (y + 8)2 = 4

Find the equation of the circle with center (−8,3) and (2,−5) is on the circle?

Hint: you need to find the radius by plugging in values for four variables or use the distance formula and/or the midpoint formula.

x=

y=

h=

k=

in (x-h)2+(y-k)2=r2

(x+8)2+(y−3)2=164.5.

(x+3)2+(y−8)2=164.

(x)2+(y)2=164.

(x+8)2+(y−3)2=164.
