Given the equation of the
circle:
x^2 - 6x + y^2 - 2y =
14
We need to find the radius and the center of the
circle.
Then, we need to rewrite into the standard form as
follows:
(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2 such that (a,b) is the
center and r is the radius.
To rewrite we need to complete
the squares.
==> x^2 - 6x + 9 -9 + y^2 - 2y + 1 -1 =
14
==> (X-3)^2 + (y-1)^2 - 9 -1 =
14
==> (x-3)^2 + (y-1)^2 =
24
Then we conclude
that:
The center is the point (3,1) and the
radius is r=sqrt24= 2sqrt6
