Question
Work each of the following.Find the center-radius form of the equation of a circle with center $(3,2)$ and tangent to the $x$ -axis. (Hint: A line tangent to a circle touches it at exactly one point.)
Step 1
Since the circle is tangent to the x-axis, the radius of the circle is equal to the y-coordinate of the center, which is 2. Show more…
