It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you either print out

you reach the “TRY FOR YOURSELF” examples and try
to solve them for yourself. It reinforces the brain to

Center-Radius Form Equation of a Circle.
A circle with center 𝒉, 𝒌 and radius 𝒓 has an equation
𝒙−𝒉
𝟐
+ 𝒚−𝒌
𝟐
= 𝒓
𝟐
Which is the center-radius form of the equation of the circle. A circle
with center 𝟎, 𝟎 and radius 𝒓 has the equation
𝒙 − 𝟎 𝟐 + 𝒚 − 𝟎 𝟐 = 𝒓 𝟐 or 𝒙 𝟐 + 𝒚 𝟐 = 𝒓 𝟐
NOTE: A circle cannot have a negative or imaginary radius!

𝒙−𝒉 𝟐− 𝒚−𝒌 𝟐 = 𝒓 𝟐
or
𝒙−𝟎 𝟐− 𝒚−𝟎 𝟐 = 𝒓 𝟐
or
𝒙 𝟐− 𝒚 𝟐= 𝒓 𝟐
Finding the Radius of a Circle
If the center 𝒉, 𝒌 is given and one endpoint 𝒙𝟏 , 𝒚𝟏 is known, then
the radius can be found by using the following:
𝒓=
𝒙𝟏 − 𝒉 𝟐 + 𝒚𝟏 − 𝒌 𝟐
If two endpoints 𝒙𝟏 , 𝒚𝟏 and 𝒙𝟐 , 𝒚𝟐 are known, then the radius can be
found by using the following:
𝒓=
𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙𝟏 𝟐 + 𝒚𝟐 − 𝒚𝟏 𝟐

Finding the Center
If two endpoints 𝒙𝟏 , 𝒚𝟏 and 𝒙𝟐 , 𝒚𝟐 are known, then the center
can be found by using the following:

Relation – A relation is a set of ordered pairs.
Function – A relation in which, for each distinct value of the first
component or (x), of the ordered pairs, there is exactly one value
of the second component or (y).
Domain – A domain is the set of all values of the independent
variable or (x) and that value must not repeat. YOU SHOULD LIST
THE VALUES IN ASCENDING ORDER!
Range – A range is the set of all values that are dependent or (y).
YOU SHOULD LIST THE VALUES IN ASCENDING ORDER!

Vertical Line Test for Functionality.
The vertical line test is a quick technique used to determine if a
graph is a function. A vertical or straight line is drawn through the
graph and if the lines touches the graph more than once then the
graph is NOT A FUNCTION.

location.
2) If for a given value x there is not a hole in the graph along
the y-axis, then x is defined at that location.
