**Problem 003:**

**Question:**

Which equation represents the circle whose center is \((-2, 3)\) and whose radius is 5?

**Answer choices:**
1. \((x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 5\)
2. \((x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 5\)
3. \((x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25\)
4. \((x - 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 25\)

**Explanation:**

To determine which equation correctly represents the given circle, recall the standard form of the equation of a circle:
\[
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
\]
where \((h, k)\) is the center of the circle and \(r\) is the radius.

For the circle in question:
- The center is \((-2, 3)\), so \(h = -2\) and \(k = 3\).
- The radius is \(5\), so \(r = 5\), and thus \(r^2 = 25\).

Substituting the given values into the standard form equation:
\[
(x - (-2))^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 5^2
\]
\[
(x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25
\]

Among the answer choices, option 3 matches this equation:
3. \((x + 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25\)

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
