To shift the circle represented by the equation \((x + 3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 36\) right 3 units, you would modify the \(x\) term in the equation.
The original equation is in the form \((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\), where \((h, k)\) is the center of the circle and \(r\) is the radius.
The center of the original circle at \((h, k)\) is \((-3, 2)\) and the radius \(r\) is \(\sqrt{36} = 6\).
Shifting the circle right 3 units involves adding 3 to the \(x\) coordinate of the center:
\[ h = -3 + 3 = 0 \]
So, the new center after the shift will be at \((0, 2)\).
The new equation of the circle after the shift becomes:
\[ (x - 0)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 36 \]
or simply:
\[ x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 36 \]
So, the result of shifting the circle right 3 units is:
\(x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 36\)
