Math Help - Equation of cirlcle in standard form.

1. Equation of cirlcle in standard form.

Write the equation of the circle in standard form. Then give the center and radius.

10x^2+10y^2=100

So far I have:
(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=100
(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=10^2

center: (0,0) radius: (10)

I don't think it is correct though. Thank you in advance.

it's not correct. the radius is off. what problem do you see with it?

3. The problem I see with this

is how you came up with $(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=100$...something is fishy about that...*cough*division mistake*cough*

Well, I'm not even sure. It doesn't look right to me. The center is correct? I got the answer for the radium by finding the square root of 100, which is 10. What should I be doing to correct this?

you originally had 10 in front of the x^2 and y^2, what happened to them?

I have no idea how I came to that deduction to be honest. My attempt at trying to divide them out. I know how to solve the equation with other variables like x^2+y^2+Dx+Ex+F=0 into standard form, but I can't do this one.

Should I be trying to get the 10s on the other side of the equation?

7. Here

$10x^2+10y^2=100$...now divide by ten to get $x^2+y^2=10$ making the center $(0,0)$ and the radius $\sqrt{10}$...you just didnt divde 100 by 10

so you just forgot about the 10s?!

MathStud told you what happened
