To find the equations of the circles for each part of the question, we will follow a systematic approach. ### Part 1: Circle touching both axes at a distance of 6 units from the origin. 1. **Identify the center**: Since the circle touches both the x-axis and y-axis at a distance of 6 units from the origin, the center of the circle can be at (6, 6), (-6, 6), (-6, -6), or (6, -6). 2. **Determine the radius**: The radius of the circle is equal to the distance from the center to either axis, which is 6 units. ...
