Answer:

C) x^2 + y^2 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Find the equation </u></h2>

since the radius is 4 this means that anywhere from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle is 4. hence :

place the horizontal line of the radius where y = 0 .

this means that if y = 0 , then x = 4

therefore :

x^2 + y^2

4^2 + 0^2

= 16

<h3><u>hence the answer is C ) x^2 + y^2 = 16</u></h3>

Can someone help me understand squares,cubes,and roots with example problems please

when someone says a number squared or cubed, or to the certain power, it means how many times you multiply the base number by itself that many times, for example

2²= 2 * 2

or 9³ = 9 x 9 x 9

a square root or cube root, is a harder to understand, but still somewhat simple, it basically means how many what number squared or cubed equals this number.

so for example the square root of 9 = 3 because 3 x 3=9

or cube roots for example ∛125= 5 because 5 x 5 x 5

So here is an example one for you. √81.
