Question: Solve to plot a circle

Question:Solve to plot a circle

I think i'm missing something easy her , but I am trying to plot a circle and cannot figure out

what I am doing wrong. The equation for the circle is:

x^2+(y-3)^2=25

I define the equation

c := x^2+(y-3)^2 = 25

Solve it for y so I should be able to plot it with plot(cplot); :

cplot:=solve(c, y)

But what I get as answer is:

3+sqrt(25-x^2), 3-sqrt(25-x^2)

The equation of the circle is part of a homework assignment, can anyone please tell me if I am

doing something wrong or if the assignment has an error? 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Paul.
