• The equation of a circle can be written as (x-a)²+(y-b)² = r²
• This circle has centre at (a,b)
• The circle has radius r

Circles can be displayed on your graphic calculator, for example, on the TI-83: Select the Y= screen: Enter Y1 = ?(R-(X-A))+B Enter Y2 = -?(R-(X-A))+B Then select the GRAPH screen. You can then choose different values for the constants A, B and R. For example, to make R = 4, press 4 ALPHA R. You may also need to adjust the scaling to get a good display of the circle.

You can get a better display of the maths by downloading special TeX fonts from jsMath. In the meantime, we will do the best we can with the fonts you have, but it may not be pretty and some equations may not be rendered correctly.
