Lingkaran Bagian 1 - Konsep Dasar dan Persamaan Lingkaran Matematika Peminatan Kelas XI

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of the basic concepts and equations of circles, particularly aimed at 11th-grade mathematics students. We will cover the definition of a circle, how to determine the equation of a circle centered at the origin, and how to find the equation of a circle with a specified center. By the end, you will also have practice problems to test your understanding.

Step 1: Understanding the Definition of a Circle

• A circle is defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point known as the center.
• The distance from the center to any point on the circle is called the radius.

Step 2: Equation of a Circle Centered at the Origin

• The standard equation of a circle centered at the origin (0, 0) is given by the formula:

  [ x^2 + y^2 = r^2 ]

  where:

  • ( (x, y) ) are the coordinates of any point on the circle,
  • ( r ) is the radius of the circle.

• To plot a circle:

  1. Identify the radius.
  2. Use the equation to find points that satisfy it by substituting different values for ( x ) or ( y ).

Step 3: Equation of a Circle Centered at (a, b)

• The standard equation of a circle with center at point ( (a, b) ) is:

  [ (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 ]

  where:

  • ( a ) and ( b ) are the x and y coordinates of the center, respectively.
  • ( r ) remains the radius.

• To find points on the circle:

  1. Substitute values for ( x ) to solve for ( y ) or vice versa.
  2. Use the center coordinates ( (a, b) ) to adjust the equation accordingly.

Step 4: Practice Problems

• After learning the concepts, practice with the following:

  • Determine the equation of a circle with a center at ( (3, -2) ) and a radius of 5.
  • Find the radius of a circle given the equation ( (x - 4)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 16 ).
