A circle in the standard (x,y) coordinate plane is described by the equation x2+y2−6x+10y+18=0. A second circle is concentric with the first circle (meaning they share the exact same center) but has an area that is 4 times the area of the first circle. Which of the following is an equation of the second circle?
