<p>Circle Notes Name______Circle- the set of all points (x,y) in a plane that are equidistance from a fixed point called the center of the circle.</p><p>Radius- distance from center to any point on the circle.</p><p>Standard Equation of a Circle with Center at the origin x2 + y2 = r2 ; where r is the radius</p><p>Graphing Circles: Graph y2 = -x2 + 36 Step 1: Rewrite x2 + y2 = 36 Step 2: Find the radius= 6 Step 3: Plot 6 units from origin in all directions on the x and y axis. Draw circle.</p><p>Writing Equation of a Circle The point (2, -5) lies on a circle whose center is the origin. Write the equation of the circle. Step 1: Find the radius by using the distance formula and the center (0,0) and point (2, -5) Radius = (- 2 - 0)2 + ( - 5 - 0) 2 = 29</p><p>Step 2: Write the equation of the circle x2 + y2 = 29 Writing the Equation of a line tangent to a circle.</p><p>Write the equation of the line tangent to the circle x2 + y2 = 13 at (-3,2). Solution: A line tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency. Because the radius to the point (-3,2) has a slope of -2/3, the slope of the tangent line at (-3,2) is the negative reciprocal of -2/3 or 3/2. An equation of the tangent line is as follows: 3 y-2 = ( x - ( - 3)) 2 3 9 y-2 = x + 2 2 3 13 y= x + 2 2</p><p>Circles and Inequalities- The regions inside and outside the circle x2 + y2 = r2 can be described by inequalities, with x2 + y2 < r2 represents the region inside the circle and x2 + y2 > r2 represents the region outside the circle.</p><p>Problem: A cellular phone tower services a 10 mile radius. You get a flat tire 4 miles east and 9 miles south of the tower. Are you in the tower’s range?</p><p>Suppose you fix the tire and then drive south. . For how many more miles will you be in the range of the tire?</p>
