Question

Find the radius and center of a circle whose parametric equations are x = 1 + 4 cos θ and y = 3 + 4 sin θ.
Options
A (4, 1), 19
B (1, 3), 2
C (1, 3), 4
Correct Answer
D (-4, 1), 2
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Parametric equations of a circle are x = h + r cosθ, y = k + r sinθ. Comparing, h = 1, k = 3, and r = 4. So center is (1,3) and radius is 4.

Hint

The general form is (h + r cosθ, k + r sinθ).
