A circle of radius 5 units touches the coordinate axes in the first quadrant. If the circle makes one complete roll on x-axis along the positive direction of x-axis, find its equation in new position.

Solution
Here (5,5) is the center of circle which is touching both the coordinate axes in first quadrant and 5 is the radius of circle, then (x−5)2+(y−5)2=52. is the equation of the circle
Now it makes one complete roll along positive X axis,hence its x coordinate of center will change its position to 5+10π while y coordinate will remain the same.
∴ The final equation will be,(x−(5+10π))2+(y−5)2=52.
