If \( \Large g^{2}+f^{2}=c \) then the equation \( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}+2gx+2fy+c=0 \) will represent:


A) a Circle of radius g

B) a circle of radius f

C) a circle of diameter \( \Large \sqrt{c} \)

D) a circle of radius 0

Correct Answer:
D) a circle of radius 0

Description for Correct answer:
Given that \( \Large x^{2}+y^{2}+2gx+2fy+c=0 \)

and \( \Large g^{2}+f^{2}=c \)

Radius of circle = \( \Large \sqrt{g^{2}+f^{2}-c} \)

\( \Large \therefore g^{2}+f^{2}=c \)

=> Radius = 0

Thus given equation represents a circle of radius 0.
