Respuesta :

the equation of a circle is defined by (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r² with the center being at (h, k) and with radius r. so we plug in (-2, 1) and r=3 and we get:
(x+2)² + (y – 1)² = 9. Hope that helps.

Answer:

The equation of circle with center (-2, 1) and radius 3 is [tex]x^2+4x+y^2-2y=4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

 Given a circle with center (-2, 1) and radius 3.

We have to find its equation.

The standard form for equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius r is given by, [tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]

For given circle with center (-2, 1) and radius 3.

h = -2 , k = 1 , and r = 3

Substitute, above , we have,

[tex](x+2)^2+(y-1)^2=3^2[/tex]

Solving ,

Using algebraic identity,

[tex](a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab\\ (a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab[/tex]

we get,

[tex]x^2+4+4x+y^2+1-2y=9[/tex]

Simplify, we get,

[tex]x^2+4x+y^2-2y+5=9[/tex]

subtract 5 both side,

[tex]x^2+4x+y^2-2y=4[/tex]

Thus, The equation of circle with center (-2, 1) and radius 3 is [tex]x^2+4x+y^2-2y=4[/tex]
