Q02. Locus of x^2 + y^2 + 4*x - 4*y - 17 = 0
Change to standard form using completing the square
(x^2 + 4*x + 4 - 4) + (y^2 - 4*y + 4 - 4) - 17 = 0
(x + 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 - 4 - 4 - 17 = 0
(x + 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = (5)^2
Interpretation
It is a circle
The center is at (-2, 2)
Radius is equal 5

Q03. Locus of x^2 + y^2 + 4*x - 4*y + 8 = 0
Change to standard form using completing the square
(x^2 + 4*x + 4 - 4) + (y^2 - 4*y + 4 - 4) + 8 = 0
(x + 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 - 4 - 4 + 8 = 0
(x + 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 0
Interpretation
It is a point at (-2, 2)
Radius is equal 0

Q04. Locus of x^2 + y^2 + 4*x - 4*y + 10 = 0
Change to standard form using completing the square
(x^2 + 4*x + 4 - 4) + (y^2 - 4*y + 4 - 4) + 10 = 0
(x + 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 - 4 - 4 + 10 = 0
(x + 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = -2
Interpretation
It is not existed in real number system
There is no locus

Q05. Locus of A*x^2 + C*y^2 + D*x + E*y + F = 0
The locus
It is a circle if A = C
It is an ellipse if A and C have same sign
It is a hyprbola if A and C have different sign
Further investigtion : Change equation into standard form
Standard form A*(x - h)^2 + C*(y - k)^2 = p
The locus when A = C
it is a circle if p > 0
it is a point if p = 0
it is not exited in real number system if p < 0
The locus when A and C have same signs
it is an ellipse if p > 0
it is a point if p = 0
it is not exited in real number system if p < 0
The locus when A and C have different signs
it is a hyperbola with principal axis y = k if p > 0
it gives two lines if p = 0
it is a hyperbola with different principal axis x = h if p < 0

Q06. Equations of Circle
1. Standard form in rectangular coordinates
Equation : (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
Center at (h, k)
Radius = r
2. Implicit form in rectnagular form
Equation F(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 + D*x + E*y + F = 0
We have to change it into standard form for interpretation
3. Parametric equation form
Equation : x = h + r*cos(A) and y = k + r*sin(A)
Use Pythagorean realtion we can change this equation to standard form
Center at (h, k)
Radius is r
4. Special form
R = sin(A)
Since R = Sqr(x^2 + y^2) and y = R*sin(A)
Hence R = y/R
Hence R^2 = y
Hence x^2 + y^2 = y
Hence x^2 + (y - 1/2)^2 = (1/2)^2
Hence center at (0, 1/2)
Hence radius = 1/2
R = cos(A)
Since R = Sqr(x^2 + y^2) and x = R*cos(A)
Hence R = x/R
Hence R^2 = x
Hence x^2 + y^2 = x
Hence (x - 1/2)^2 + y^2 = (1/2)^2
Hence center at (1/2, 0)
Hence radius = 1/2
