This document outlines the objectives and formulas related to the equations of circles, discussing both the center-radius form and standard form of these equations. It provides multiple examples of how to derive the equations of circles based on given centers and radii, and how to identify the centers and radii from given equations. Additionally, it includes methods for converting equations from standard to general form.
