Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ 2: x^2+(y+4)^2=9}}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for a circle is:
[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]
Where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.
We know that the center of the circle is (0, -4) and the radius is 3. Therefore:
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex](x-0)^2+(y--4)^2=(3)^2[/tex]
Solve the first parentheses.
[tex]x^2+(y--4)^2=(3)^2[/tex]
Solve the next parentheses.
[tex]x^2+(y+4)^2=(3)^2[/tex]
Solve the exponent.
[tex]x^2+(y+4)^2=9[/tex]
This is the finished equation, which corresponds with number 2. Choice B (2): x²+(y+4)²= 9 is correct.
