QuestionFind the equation of the circle with center at the origin that contains the point .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. The circle is centered at the origin .
2. The circle passes through the point .
STEP 2
1. Recall the standard equation of a circle centered at the origin.
2. Use the given point to find the radius of the circle.
3. Substitute the radius into the standard equation.
STEP 3
Recall the standard equation of a circle centered at the origin:
where is the radius of the circle.
STEP 4
Use the given point to find the radius . The radius is the distance from the origin to the point , which can be calculated using the distance formula:
STEP 5
Substitute the radius into the standard equation of the circle:
The equation of the circle is:
