Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working clearly in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Write the equation of a circle with center at (0, 0) and radius 5.
[2 marks]
2.
Calculate the radius of the circle given by the equation x^2 + y^2 = 36.
[2 marks]
3.
Determine whether the point (4, 3) lies on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25. Show your working.
[3 marks]
4.
Plot the graph of the circle x^2 + y^2 = 49 on the grid.
[3 marks]
5.
Construct a circle with radius 8 on the grid. Write its equation.
[2 marks]
6.
A circle has the equation x^2 + y^2 = 81. What is its radius?
[1 mark]
7.
Explain why the equation x^2 + y^2 = r^2 always represents a circle centered at the origin.
[4 marks]
8.
A circle passes through the point (6, 8) and has its center at the origin. Find its radius and write the equation.
[3 marks]
9.
Identify and correct the mistake in the equation: x^2 + y^2 = 49, if the circle has its center at (1, 1) and radius 7.
[4 marks]
10.
Derive the general form of the circle equation with center at (h, k) and radius r.
[3 marks]
11.
Challenge: Given the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25, find all points on the circle where the x-coordinate is 3. Show detailed working.
[4 marks]
