write the equation of the circle in standard form and then identify its center and radius?
4/3X^2+4/3Y^2=1

general equation of a circle in standard form:
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
general equation of a circle of radius r and center (0,0)
x^2 + y^2 = r^2
since you're given (4/3)X^2 + (4/3)Y^2 = 1
then the standard form will be (x - 0)^2 + (y - 0)^2 = 3/4
the center is (0,0) and the radius is sqrt(3/4)
hope this helps!

Well the standard form of a circle is
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
Where r is the radius and (h, k) is the center.
Taking your equation if we multiply both sides by 3/4 we get
x^2 + y^2 = 3/4
This is the same thing as writing
(x - 0)^2 + (y - 0)^2 = 3/4
Now hopefully you see
h = 0, k = 0 and r^2 = 3/4 ----> r = sqrt(3/4)
So your center is at (0,0) and it has radius of sqrt(3/4)

Multiply both sides by 3/4, then the given equation becomes
X^2 + Y^2 = 3/4
and the center of the circle is at (0,0) and with radius of (1/2)sqrt3.
Hope this helps.

For the equation you've given, the centre is the origin and the radius is (3/4)^1/2

(3 / 4)(4 / 3)x^2 + (3 / 4)(4 / 3)y^2 = (3 / 4)(1)
x^2 + y^2 = 3 / 4
centre (0, 0) and radius = sqrt(3) / 2

x^2 + y^2 = 3/4
centre is(0,0); radius = √3/2
