Answer

(a) The circle has a center (0,1) and a radius of 1 unit. (b) See below. (c) The only x-intercept is (0,0). There are two y-intercepts: (0,0) and (0,2).

Work Step by Step

First, we need to make sure that the equation is in standard form $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ In this case, we can see that the equation is already in standard form. The x-intercepts are all points of a graph when y=0: $x^2+(0-1)^2=1$ $x^2+1=1$ $x^2=1-1$ $x^2=0$ $\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt0$ $x=0$ The y-intercepts are all points of a graph when x=0: $0^2+(y-1)^2=1$ $(y-1)^2=1$ $\sqrt{(y-1)^2}=\sqrt1$ $y_1-1=-1$ $y_1=0$ $y_2-1=1$ $y_2=2$
