    Section 11.2, Conic Sections - The Circle

    Uploaded by

    Bookworm Pham
    This document discusses circles and their equations. It defines a circle as all points a fixed distance from a center point. The standard form of a circle equation is given as (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius. It also discusses writing circles in general form and using three points to find the equation of a circle.

    2: Conic Sections – The Circle

    A circle is the set of points located a specific distance, the radius, from a specific point, the center.
    Standard form of the equation of a circle reflects these two aspects:  x - h  +  y - k  = r 2 ,
    2 2

    where r is the radius and the center is given by the point (h , k).

    Ex.

    General form of the circle is given by the equation Ax 2 + Bxy + Cy 2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 , the general form
    for all conic sections. The equation for a circle is recognizable by the fact that the coefficients A =
    C and B = 0.

    By completing the squares for the x and y variables, the general form of a circle can be converted to
    standard form.

    Ex.
    By using the general form of an equation and setting up a system of equations, any three points on a circle
    are sufficient to find the equation for the circle.

    Using the fact that A = C = 1 and B = 0, and plugging in the x- and y-coordinates for each of the known
    points, a system consisting of three equations (one using each coordinate) and 3 variables (D, E,
    and F) can be created. This system can then be solved in the manner discussed in section 11.4.

    Ex.

    Homework:

    7. Diameter from (-5, 8) to (-7, 10) 8. Diameter from (-6, 5) to (0, 1)
    Give the center and radius of the circles below, then rewrite the equation in general form.
