Convert the general form of the circle given into standard form.
2x^2 + 2y^2 - 20x - 8y + 50 = 0


Sagot :

[tex]The\ standard\ form\ of\ the\ circle:\\\\(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\\\\where\\(a;\ b)\ are\ the\ coordinates\ of\ a\ center\ of\ the\ circle\\r\ is\ a\ radius\ of\ the\ circle\\------------------------[/tex]

[tex]2x^2+2y^2-20x-8y+50=0\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x^2+y^2-10x-4y+25=0\\\\x^2-10x+y^2-4y=-25\\\\x^2-2x\cdot5+y^2-2y\cdot2=-25\\\\\underbrace{x^2-2x\cdot5+5^2}_{(*)}-5^2+\underbrace{y^2-2y\cdot2+2^2}_{(*)}-2^2=-25\\(x-5)^2-25+(y-2)^2-4=-25\\\\(x-5)^2+(y-2)^2-29=-25\\\\(x-5)^2+(y-2)^2=-25+29[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{(x-5)^2+(y-2)^2=4}\\\\the\ center:(5;\ 2)\\the\ radius:r=\sqrt4=2[/tex]
