    If we were to expand the equation in the previous example and gather up like terms, instead of the easily recognizable \((x+2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 4\), we'd be contending with \(x^2 + 4x + y^2 - 2y + 1 = 0....If we were to expand the equation in the previous example and gather up like terms, instead of the easily recognizable \((x+2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 4\), we'd be contending with \(x^2 + 4x + y^2 - 2y + 1 = 0.\) If we're given such an equation, we can complete the square to rewrite the equation in standard form for a circle. The diameter of the circle is the distance between the given points, so we know that half of the distance is the radius.

The diameter is the length of a line segment passing through the center whose endpoints are on the circle. In addition, a circle can be formed by the intersection of a cone and a plane that is perpendicular to the axis of the cone.

It is easier to graph polar equations if we can test the equations for symmetry. There are three symmetry tests that indicate whether the graph of a polar equation will exhibit symmetry. If an equation fails a symmetry test, the graph may or may not exhibit symmetry.

As with triangles and other polygons, quadrilaterals have special properties and can be classified by characteristics of their angles and sides. Understanding the properties of different quadrilaterals can help you in solving problems that involve this type of polygon.
