Answer

$(x-\sqrt{5})^2+(y+\sqrt{7})^2=3$

Work Step by Step

$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$ Use the Center-Radius Form to find the equation of the circle with the following characteristics: \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \text{center } (\sqrt{5},-\sqrt{7}) ,\text{ radius } \sqrt{3} .\end{array} $\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$ With the given center, then $h= \sqrt{5} $ and $k= -\sqrt{7} .$ With the given radius, then $r= \sqrt{3} .$ Using the Center-Radius Form of the equation of circles which is given by $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2,$ then the equation of the circle is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} (x-\sqrt{5})^2+(y-(-\sqrt{7}))^2=(\sqrt{3})^2 \\\\ (x-\sqrt{5})^2+(y+\sqrt{7})^2=3 .\end{array}
