### Question 4

**Write the equation for a circle that is centered at (0,0) and passes through the point (-3,5).**

#### Options:
A. \( x^2 - y^2 = 34 \)

B. \( (x + 3)^2 + (x - 5)^2 = 2 \)

C. \( (x - 3)^2 + (x + 5)^2 = 34 \)

D. \( x^2 + y^2 = 34 \)

### Explanation:

To find the equation of a circle centered at the origin \((0,0)\) and passing through a particular point, we use the standard form of the equation of a circle:

\[ x^2 + y^2 = r^2 \]

where \((x, y)\) is any point on the circle and \(r\) is the radius. 

To find the radius \(r\), we can substitute the coordinates of the given point \((-3,5)\) into the equation:

\[ (-3)^2 + 5^2 = r^2 \]
\[ 9 + 25 = r^2 \]
\[ 34 = r^2 \]

Thus, the equation of the circle is:

\[ x^2 + y^2 = 34 \]

So, the correct answer is:

**Option D: \( x^2 + y^2 = 34 \).**
