    03 Center-Radius vs. General Form

    Uploaded by

    Evelyn Maligaya
    This document discusses the center-radius and general forms of equations for circles. It provides examples of converting between the two forms by completing the square and expanding/combining terms. It also addresses degenerate cases where the radius is 0, resulting in a point, or undefined, resulting in no graph. Examples demonstrate writing equations in center-radius form and determining the center and radius from the form.
