Find the centre and radius of each of the following circles:
(i) (x – 1)2 + y2 = 4

(ii) (x + 5)2 + (y + 1)2 = 9

(iii) x2 + y2 – 4x + 6y = 5

(iv) x2 + y2 – x + 2y – 3 = 0



Answer -

(i) (x – 1)2 +y2 = 4

Given:

The equation (x – 1)2 +y2 = 4

We need to find thecentre and the radius.

By using the standardequation formula,

(x – a)2 +(y – b)2 = r2 …. (1)

Now let us convertgiven circle’s equation into the standard form.

(x – 1)2 +y2 = 4

(x – 1)2 +(y – 0)2 = 22 ….. (2)

By comparing equation(2) with (1), we get

Centre = (1, 0) andradius = 2

The centre of thecircle is (1, 0) and the radius is 2.

(ii) (x + 5)2 +(y + 1)2 = 9

Given:

The equation (x + 5)2 +(y + 1)2 = 9

We need to find thecentre and the radius.

By using the standardequation formula,

(x – a)2 +(y – b)2 = r2 …. (1)

Now let us convertgiven circle’s equation into the standard form.

(x + 5)2 +(y + 1)2 = 9

(x – (-5))2 +(y – ( – 1))2 = 32 …. (2)

By comparing equation(2) with (1), we get

Centre = (-5, -1) andradius = 3

The centre of thecircle is (-5, -1) and the radius is 3.

(iii) x2 + y2 –4x + 6y = 5

Given:

The equation x2 +y2 – 4x + 6y = 5

We need to find thecentre and the radius.

By using the standardequation formula,

(x – a)2 +(y – b)2 = r2 …. (1)

Now let us convertgiven circle’s equation into the standard form.

x2 + y2 –4x + 6y = 5

(x2 –4x + 4) + (y2 + 6y + 9) = 5 + 4 + 9

(x – 2)2 +(y + 3)2 = 18

(x – 2)2 +(y – (-3))2 = (3√2)2 … (2)

By comparing equation(2) with (1), we get

Centre = (2, -3) andradius = 3√2

The centre of thecircle is (2, -3) and the radius is 3√2.

(iv) x2 + y2 –x + 2y – 3 = 0

Given:

The equation x2 +y2 – x + 2y – 3 = 0

We need to find thecentre and the radius.

By using the standardequation formula,

(x – a)2 +(y – b)2 = r2 …. (1)

Now let us convertgiven circle’s equation into the standard form.

x2 + y2 –x + 2y – 3 = 0

(x2 –x + ¼) + (y2 + 2y + 1) – 3 – ¼ – 1 = 0

(x – ½)2 +(y + 1)2 = 17/4 …. (2)

By comparing equation(2) with (1), we get

Centre = (½, – 1) andradius = √17/2

The centre of thecircle is (½, -1) and the radius is √17/2.
