Circle Equations and Conversions

The video tutorial explains how to convert circle equations from general form to standard form by grouping terms, moving constants, and completing the square. It provides two examples, demonstrating the process of completing the square for both simple and complex equations, and highlights the importance of maintaining equation balance by adding terms to both sides.

What is the first step in converting a circle's equation from general to standard form?

• Move the constant to the left side

• Group the x and y terms separately

• Complete the square for y

• Factor the equation

When completing the square for the x terms, what do you do with the middle term?

• Double it and add to both sides

• Half it and square it

• Ignore it

• Square it and subtract from both sides

After completing the square for x, what must be done to maintain the equation's balance?

• Multiply both sides by the same value

• Subtract the same value from the left side

• Divide both sides by the same value

• Add the same value to the right side

What is the result of factoring a perfect square trinomial?

• A binomial squared

• A quadratic equation

• A linear equation

• A constant

In the first example, what is the center of the circle after conversion?

• (0, 4)

• (4, 0)

• (4, 4)

• (0, 0)

In the second example, what is the first step after grouping the x and y terms?

• Add a constant to both sides

• Complete the square for y

• Move the constant to the left side

• Move the constant to the right side

What is the value added to both sides when completing the square for y in the second example?

• 3

• 6

• 9

• 4

What is the center of the circle in the second example after conversion?

• (-2, 3)

• (-3, 2)

• (2, -3)

• (3, -2)

What is the radius of the circle in the second example?

• 3

• 4

• 5

• 6

What is the final form of the equation for the second example?

• (x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 16

• (x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 9

• (x + 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 25

• (x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 4
