1. What is the equation of the circle whose center is (-6,-15) and radius is square root of 5

Explanation

The equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius r is given by (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2. In this case, the center is (-6,-15) and the radius is the square root of 5. Plugging these values into the equation, we get (x+6)^2 + (y+15)^2 = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

2. What is the equation of the circle given that the center is (3, -2) and a radius is 4.

Explanation

The equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is given by (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2. In this case, the center is (3, -2) and the radius is 4. Plugging these values into the equation, we get (x-3)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 16, which is the equation of the circle.

4. Given the radius is 8 and the center is at the origin, find the equation of the circle.

Explanation

The equation of a circle with radius r and center at the origin (0,0) is given by x^2 + y^2 = r^2. In this case, the radius is 8, so the equation of the circle is x^2 + y^2 = 64.

6. This is a set of all coplanar points such that the distance from a fixed point is constant.

Explanation

A circle is a set of all coplanar points that are equidistant from a fixed point, known as the center. The distance from any point on the circle to the center remains constant, which defines the shape of a circle. This property distinguishes a circle from other conic sections such as the parabola, hyperbola, and ellipse, which have different characteristics and equations.

7. What is the standard form of the equation x2 + y2 +14x -12y +4 = 0

Explanation

The standard form of a quadratic equation is given by Ax^2 + By^2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0, where A, B, C, D, and E are constants. In the given equation x^2 + y^2 + 14x - 12y + 4 = 0, we can rearrange the terms to match the standard form. By grouping the x-terms and the y-terms separately, we get (x^2 + 14x) + (y^2 - 12y) + 4 = 0. Completing the square for both x and y, we have (x^2 + 14x + 49) + (y^2 - 12y + 36) + 4 - 49 - 36 = 0. Simplifying further, we get (x + 7)^2 + (y - 6)^2 - 81 = 0. Therefore, the standard form of the equation is (x + 7)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 81, which matches with Option 1.

Submit
8. Which of the following is the center and the radius of this equation 

Explanation

The correct answer is center (3, 13) radius=4. This is because the center coordinates match the given center (-3, 13) and the radius value is also 4, which matches the given radius value.

Submit
9. Which of the following is the center and the radius of the graph below

Explanation

The correct answer is Center (0, 0) , radius = 6. This is because the graph is centered at the point (0, 0) and the distance from the center to any point on the graph is 6 units.

Submit
10. This is a curve formed by the intersection of a plane and a double circular right cone

Explanation

The curve formed by the intersection of a plane and a double circular right cone is known as a conic. A conic is a general term that includes various types of curves such as circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. In this case, since the cone is double circular, the resulting curve would be a conic. Therefore, the correct answer is conic.
