Transcript text: Find the center, radius, and intercepts of the circle given below and then sketch the graph of the circle.
\[
x^{2}+(y-9)^{2}=81
\]
The center of the circle is $\square$
(Type an ordered pair.)
Solution
Step 1: Identify the center and radius of the circle
The given equation of the circle is:
\[
x^{2}+(y-9)^{2}=81
\]
This is in the standard form of a circle equation:
\[
(x-h)^{2} + (y-k)^{2} = r^{2}
\]
Comparing the given equation with the standard form, we can identify:
The center \((h, k)\) is \((0, 9)\).
The radius \(r\) is \(\sqrt{81} = 9\).
Step 2: Find the intercepts of the circle
To find the intercepts, we need to determine where the circle intersects the x-axis and y-axis.
