The document provides information about circles including: - A circle is defined as all points in a plane that are equidistant from a given center point. The distance from the center to any point on the circle is called the radius. - The history of circles dates back to before recorded history. Early mathematicians like Euclid studied properties of circles. - Standard equations for representing circles are provided, including the general form with an arbitrary center (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2. - Examples of graphing circles based on standard equation forms are given.

A circle is a simple shape of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane which are equidistant from a given point called the center. The common distance of the points of a circle from its center is called its radius. Circles are simple closed curves which divide the plane into two regions, an interior and an exterior. In everyday use, the term "circle" may be used interchangeably to refer to either the boundary of the figure (also known as the perimeter) or to the whole figure including its interior. However, in strict technical usage, "circle" refers to the perimeter while the interior of the circle is called a disk. The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle (especially when referring to its length). A circle is a special ellipse in which the two foci are coincident. Circles are conic sections attained when a right circular cone is intersected with a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cone.

INTRODUCTION OF CIRCLE

HISTORY
The circle has been known since before the beginning of recorded history. It is the basis for the wheel, which, with related inventions such as gears, makes much of modern civilization possible. In mathematics, the study of the circle has helped inspire the development of geometry and calculus. Early science, particularly geometry and astrology and astronomy, was connected to the divine for most medieval scholars, and many believed that there was something intrinsically "divine" or "perfect" that could be found in circles. Some highlights in the history of the circle are: 1700 BC The Rhind papyrus gives a method to find the area of a circular field. The result corresponds to 256/81 (3.16049...) as an approximate value of . 300 BC Book 3 of Euclid's Elements deals with the properties of circles. 1880 Lindemann proves that is transcendental, effectively settling the millenniaold problem of squaring the circle.

The standard form of the equation of a circle with its center at the origin is

x y r
2 2

r is the radius of the circle so if we take the square root of the right hand side, we'll know how big the radius is.

Notice that both the x and y terms are squared. Linear equations dont have either the x or y terms squared. Parabolas have only the x term was squared (or only the y term, but NOT both).

Let's look at the equation

x y 9
2 2
This is r2 so r = 3

The center of the circle is at the origin and the radius is 3. Let's graph this circle. Count out 3 in all directions since that is the radius Center at (0, 0)

-7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

If the center of the circle is NOT at the origin then the equation for the standard form of a circle looks like this:

x h y k
2

The center of the circle is at (h, k).

This is r2 so r = 4

x 3 y 1

Find the center and radius and graph this circle. The center of the circle is at (h, k) which is (3,1).

The radius is 4
