13. Completing the Square to Write Standard Equations of Circles
Add/subtract to move the constant term to the other side of the equation.
Rearrange the terms so that the x’s and y’s are together.
Complete the square for the x’s and y’s.
Make sure that anything you added to the one side of the equation is added to the other side as well.

14. Write the equation of the circle in standard form
Write the equation of the circle in standard form. Then find the center and radius of the circle.
x2 + y2 + 4x – 6y – 3 = 0
x2 + y2 + 4x – 6y = 3
x2 + 4x + y2 – 6y = 3 4 9
x2 + 4x + ___ + y2 – 6y + ___ = 3
+ 4
+ 9
x2 + 4x y2 – 6y + 9 = 16
(x + 2)2 + (y – 3)2 = 16
Center = (-2, 3)
Radius = 4

15. Write the equation of the circle in standard form
Write the equation of the circle in standard form. Then find the center and radius of the circle.
x2 + y2 – 12x – 2y – 8 = 0
x2 + y2 – 12x – 2y = 8
x2 – 12x + y2 – 2y = 8 36 1
x2 – 12x + ___ + y2 – 2y + ___ = 8
+36 +1
x2 – 12x y2 – 2y + 1 = 45
(x – 6)2 + (y – 1)2 = 45
Center = (6, 1)
Radius = √45 ≈ 6.7

x2 + y2 – 10x + 4y + 17 = 0
x2 + y2 – 10x + 4y = -17
x2 – 10x + y2 + 4y = -17 25 4
x2 – 10x + ___ + y2 + 4y + ___ = -17
+25 +4
x2 – 10x y2 + 4y + 4 = 12
(x – 5)2 + (y + 2)2 = 12
Center = (5, -2)
Radius = √12 ≈ 3.5
