1. Find the equation of the circle passing through the points (1,3)(1,3),
(4,6)(4,6), and (7,3)(7,3).

Solution: To find the equation of the circle passing through these points, we can use
the general equation of a circle (𝑥−ℎ)2+(𝑦−𝑘)2=𝑟2(x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2. First, we
need to find the center (ℎ,𝑘)(h,k) and the radius 𝑟r.

We can start by finding the midpoint of any two given points, which will give us the
center of the circle. Let's choose the points (1,3)(1,3) and (7,3)(7,3). The midpoint
is (ℎ,𝑘)=(1+72,3+32)=(4,3)(h,k)=(21+7,23+3)=(4,3).

Now, we need to find the distance from the center to any of the given points, which
will give us the radius. Let's choose the point (1,3)(1,3). The distance formula is
𝑟=(𝑥2−𝑥1)2+(𝑦2−𝑦1)2r=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2. Substituting the values, we get
𝑟=(1−4)2+(3−3)2=9=3r=(1−4)2+(3−3)2=9=3.

Now, substituting ℎ=4h=4, 𝑘=3k=3, and 𝑟=3r=3 into the general equation of a
circle, we get (𝑥−4)2+(𝑦−3)2=32(x−4)2+(y−3)2=32, which simplifies to
(𝑥−4)2+(𝑦−3)2=9(x−4)2+(y−3)2=9. Thus, the equation of the circle passing
through the given points is (𝑥−4)2+(𝑦−3)2=9(x−4)2+(y−3)2=9.
