    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.

    4/3X²+4/3y²=1

    X²+Y²=3/4

    the center is in (0,0) and the radius is (√3)/2

    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

    (4/3)X² + (4/3)Y² = 1

    (X-0)² + (Y-0)² = 3/4

    center (0,0)

    radius √3/2

    x^2 + y^2 = 3/4

    centre is(0,0); radius = √3/2

  • 1 decade ago

    x^2+y^2 = 3/4

    center (0,0)

    radius √(3)/2
