Circle Equation: Center (0,0)
For the questions below, be sure to zoom out if you need to!
1.
Suppose [i]P(x,y)[/i] = any point that lies on a circle with center (0,0) and radius 5. [br]Use what you've observed to write an equation that expresses the relationship among [i]x[/i], [i]y[/i], and [i]r[/i].
2.
What is the equation of a circle with center (0,0) and radius [i]r[/i] = 9?
3.
Suppose another circle has center (0,0). Suppose this circle also passes through the point (12, -5).[br]Write the equation of this circle. [br]
4. FINAL QUESTION:
Suppose [i]P(x,y)[/i] = any point that lies on a circle with center (0,0) and radius [i]r[/i], where [i]r[/i] > 0. [br]Use what you've observed to write an equation that expresses the relationship among [i]x[/i], [i]y[/i], and [i]r[/i].

Locus Problem (1)
In the applet below, [br][br][i][color=#1e84cc][b]F[/b][/color][/i][color=#1e84cc][b] is a point[/b] [/color]that is not on line [i]d[/i]. [br][b]Point [i]D[/i] is a point that lies ON [color=#666666]the line that passes through [i]A [/i]and [i]B[/i][/color]. [br][/b]The [color=#ff00ff][b]pink line[/b][/color] is the [color=#ff00ff][b]perpendicular bisector[/b][/color] of the segment with endpoints [i][color=#1e84cc][b]F[/b][/color][/i] and [i][b]D[/b][/i]. [br][br]Drag [b]point [i]D[/i][/b] along the line. What do you see? Describe in detail! [br] [br]Feel free to alter the locations of [color=#666666][i][b]A,[/b][/i][/color] [i][color=#666666][b]B[/b][/color], [/i]and/or [i][color=#1e84cc][b]F[/b][/color][/i][color=#666666]. [br][/color]Then [color=#38761d][b]clear the trace[/b][/color] and drag [b]point [i]D[/i][/b] along [color=#666666][b]the line[/b][/color] again. [br][br]Why does this occur?

Locus Problem (2)
In the applet below, [br][br][color=#1e84cc][b][i]O[/i] is the center [/b][/color]of the circle shown. [br][b]Point [i]D[/i] is a point that lies ON this circle. [/b][br][color=#1e84cc][b]Point [i]A[/i] is a point that ALWAYS LIES INSIDE[/b] [/color]the circle. (You can move it anywhere you'd like). [br]The [color=#ff00ff][b]pink line[/b][/color] is the [color=#ff00ff][b]perpendicular bisector[/b][/color] of the segment with endpoints [i]A[/i] and [i]D[/i]. [br][br]Drag [b]point [i]D[/i][/b] around the circle a few times. What do you see? Describe in detail! [br] [br]Feel free to alter the locations of [i][color=#1e84cc][b]A[/b][/color][/i] and [i][color=#1e84cc][b]R[/b][/color]. [/i]Then clear the trace and drag [b]point [i]D[/i][/b] around again. [br][br]Why does this occur?

Parallelogram Creation Exercises (I)
[color=#000000]In the applets below, 3 vertices of a parallelogram are shown.[br]The coordinates (x,y) of these vertices are also displayed as well. [br][br]In each task below, determine the coordinates of each parallelogram's 4th vertex. [br]Plot this point in the coordinate plane. [br]Feel free to use any of the tools of the limited toolbar when doing so. [br]Then, use the Polygon tool to construct the parallelogram.[br][br]Afterwards, use any of the tools of each applet's limited toolbar to clearly show that the quadrilateral you've constructed is indeed a parallelogram. [/color]
Slope Illustrator
Move the two points around to change the slope of the line. Be sure to press the EXPLORE BUTTON when you see it appear. After doing so, move the new colored point (that will appear) around.
Endpoint (x,y) of a Segment Given Midpoint & Other Endpoint
[b][color=#c51414]Directions:[/color][/b][br][br]1) In the applet below, note the [color=#0a971e]segment [/color]with [color=#1551b5]endpoint B[/color] and [color=#c51414]MIDPOINT M[/color].[br]2) Algebraically determine the coordinates of the [color=#1551b5]other endpoint (x, y)[/color]. [br]3) [color=#1551b5]Enter in these coordinates in the input boxes provided in the upper left hand corner.[/color][br]4) If you get the problem correct, the applet will indicate this to you. If not, keep trying.[br]5) Click the "New Problem" button to create a new segment with different endpoints.[br]6) Repeat steps (1) - (5).[br][b]7) Repeat steps (5) - (7) as many times as you need in order to master this concept![/b]
