Recognize standard form: Recognize the standard form of a circle's equation.The standard form is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2, where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.
Compare with standard form: Compare the given equation with the standard form.Given equation: (X−8)2+y2=12Standard form: (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2
Identify center: Identify the center (h,k) from the given equation.Center (h,k)=(8,0) because (X−8) corresponds to (x−h) and y corresponds to (y−k).
Find radius: Find the radius by taking the square root of the right side of the equation.Radius r=12=23
