Standard Equation of a Circle: r(h,k (with radius of r and center at (h,k): ( x – h ) 2 + ( y – k ) 2 = r 2 r > 0 Circle P(x, y) C(h, k) With center at (0,0), this simplifies to: x 2 + y 2 = r 2
Completing the Square To complete the square of the quadratic expression add the square of one-half the coefficient of x ; that is, add The resulting expression can be factored as a perfect square:
