Encontrar el centro y radio de la CIRCUNFERENCIA conociendo la ecuación general EJEMPLO 1

Introduction to the Course

In this section, the instructor introduces the topic of finding the center and radius of a circle given its general equation. The general equation of a circle is discussed, emphasizing that the coefficients of x and y should be 1 for it to be in standard form.

Recognizing the General Equation

• The general equation of a circle is in the form x^2 + y^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0.

• The coefficients D and E must be 1 for x and y respectively, while F can be any constant value.

Example Problem - Finding Center and Radius

In this section, an example problem is presented to demonstrate how to find the center and radius of a circle given its general equation. Two methods are discussed - using formulas and converting to canonical form.

Method 1: Using Formulas

• Formula for finding the center: (x-coordinate) = -D/2, (y-coordinate) = -E/2.

• Formula for finding the radius: r = sqrt(D^2 + E^2 - 4F)/2.

Applying Formulas to Example Problem

• Given equation: x^2 + y^2 - 8x + 10y + 40 = 0.

• Center coordinates: (-(-8)/2, -(10)/2) = (4,5).

• Radius calculation: r = sqrt((-8)^2 + (10)^2 - 4(40))/2 = sqrt(164)/2 = 1.

Method 2: Converting to Canonical Form

• Canonical form of a circle's equation is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

• Steps involve rearranging terms and completing the square to obtain the equation in canonical form.

Conclusion

The instructor concludes the lesson by summarizing the findings. The center of the circle is (4,5) and the radius is 1 unit. The alternative method of converting to canonical form is briefly mentioned as well.

Factoring Trinomials

In this section, the speaker explains how to factor trinomials using the perfect square trinomial method.

Factoring Trinomials

• To factor a trinomial, divide the second term by 2 and square the result. This will give you the number to complete the trinomial.

• Apply the same operation to the second trinomial term.

• Remember that when adding or subtracting terms on one side of an equation, you must do the same on the other side to maintain equality.

• Trinomials have three terms and can be solved using perfect square trinomial method.

• Place each term in parentheses squared, with a plus sign between them for positive terms and a minus sign for negative terms.

• The first term is always positive in this method.

• Take the square root of the first and third terms to find their values.

Canonical Form of Equations

In this section, the speaker discusses how to write equations in canonical form and determine their center and radius.

Canonical Form of Equations

• To write an equation in canonical form, use two sets of parentheses squared with a plus sign between them.

• The number inside each set of parentheses is determined by taking the square root of the corresponding term in the original equation.

• The center coordinates are represented as (h,k), where h is equal to -4 and k is equal to 5 in this case.

• The radius is determined by taking the square root of 1, which equals 1.
