What to Focus On
- A circle is the set of points equidistant from a center.
- Standard form: $(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$
- Center: (h, k), Radius: r
- General form: $x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$
- Center: $(-g, -f)$
- Radius: $\sqrt{g^2 + f^2 - c}$
- Three non-collinear points determine a unique circle.
- Substitute points into general equation and solve for g, f, c.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The general equation of a circle is always in the form x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, so any second-degree equation must represent a circle.
If a circle touches the x-axis, then k = r, so the equation becomes (x - h)² + (y - r)² = r².
The diameter form of a circle is (x - x₁)² + (y - y₁)² = (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)².
Memory Tips
Standard Equation of a Circle: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
General Form: x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0
Center is (−g, −f) in general form
Radius = √(g² + f² − c)
