Algebra 2 Chapter 9 Conic Sections: Circles and Parabolas
9-2 Circles WARMUP: Give the constant that makes each of the following a perfect square trinomial: 1. x 2 + 8x + ____ 2. y 2 – 24x + ____ 3. x 2 – x + ____ 4. y 2 + 3y + ____
9-2 Circles Objective: To learn the relationship between the center and radius of a circle and the equation of a circle.
9-2 Circles As we saw previously, the term Conics comes from slices of a double cone creating certain shapes. The simplest of these is the circle: Circle: the set of all points in a plane that are a fixed distance, the radius, from a fixed point, the center.
9-2 Circles C(5,1) P(x,y) Start with the distance formula: Every circle has an equation of this form.
9-2 Circles Equation of a circle: The circle with center ( h, k ) and radius r has the equation:
