Analyze the graph below and complete the instructions as follows.

Option A:

x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation for a circle centered in the point (a, b) and of radius R is given by:

(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = R^2

So the first thing we need to find is the center of the circle.

We can see that the center is at:

x = 0

y = 2

Then the center is at the point (0, 2)

Now we want our circle to pass through point 2, located at a distance of 2 units from the radius of the first circle.

So the distance between the center and point 2 is 2 units plus the radius of the smaller circle:

And the radius of the smaller circle is one unit.

Then, the radius of a circle centered at (0, 2) that passes through point 2 is:

R = 1 + 2 = 3

Then we have a circle centered at (0, 2) and of radius R = 3

Replacing these in the equation for a circle we get:

(x - 0)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 3^2

x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 9

The correct option is A
