Study Notes
- A circle is formed when the cutting plane is parallel to the base of the conic section
- A circle is the locus of points P(x, y) that are equidistant from a fixed point
- The fixed point of a circle is called the center
- The fixed distance is called the radius
- Radius is the distance from the center to any point on the circle
- The distance around the circle is called the circumference
- Area of a circle: A = πr²
- Circumference of a circle: C = 2πr
Equation of a Circle at the Origin
- The segment from the center to a point on the circle is called the radius
- The radius of the circle represented by segment CP can be calculated using the distance formula: CP = √(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²
- Given C(0, 0) as P₁ and P(x, y) as P₂, the radius is r = √(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²
- Simplified: r = √(x − 0)² + (y − 0)²
- Further simplified: r = √x² + y²
- Squaring both sides gives: x² + y² = r²
- The equation of a circle whose center is at the origin is x² + y² = r²
Equation of a Circle with Center at (h, k)
- If the center is at (h, k), the radius is r = √(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²
- The equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is: (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²
Standard and General Equation
- (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r² is the standard equation of a circle with center C(h, k) and radius r, also known as the center-radius form
- Simplifying (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r² yields: x² − 2hx + h² + y² − 2ky + k² = r²
- Rearranging: x² + y² − 2hx − 2ky + (h² + k² − r²) = 0
- This can be rewritten as Ax² + Cy² + Dx + Ey + F = 0 (general equation), where h, k, and r are constants
- A unit circle is a circle with a radius of one, represented by the equation x² + y² = 1
Converting General Equation to Standard Equation
- To express the general equation to standard equation of a circle, apply the following steps:
- Put the x related terms together and y related terms together. Transpose the constant term to the other side of the equation
- Perform completing the square by inserting the needed values for creating the perfect square trinomials by taking half of the middle term and squaring it. The value will always be positive as a result of the squaring process
- Balance both sides of the equation
- Express the perfect square trinomials as the square of binomials
