Problem 48

By expanding \((x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}\), we obtain \(x^{2}-\) \(2 h x+h^{2}+y^{2}-2 k y+k^{2}-r^{2}=0\). When we compare this result to the form \(x^{2}+y^{2}+D x+E y+F=0\), we see that \(D=-2 h, E=-2 k\), and \(F=h^{2}+k^{2}-r^{2}\). Therefore, solving those equations respectively for \(h, k\), and \(r\), we can find the center and the length of a radius of a circle by using \(h=\frac{D}{-2}, k=\frac{E}{-2}\), and \(r=\sqrt{h^{2}+k^{2}-F}\). Use these relationships to find the center and the length of a radius of each of the following circles: (a) \(x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x-8 y+8=0 \quad(1,4), r=3\) (b) \(x^{2}+y^{2}+4 x-14 y+49=0 \quad(-2,7), r=2\) (c) \(x^{2}+y^{2}+12 x+8 y-12=0 \quad(-6,-4), r=8\) (d) \(x^{2}+y^{2}-16 x+20 y+115=0 \quad(8,-10), r=7\) (e) \(x^{2}+y^{2}-12 x-45=0 \quad(6,0), r=9\) (f) \(x^{2}+y^{2}+14 x=0 \quad(-7,0), r=7\)
