The graph of the equation
4x^2 - 12x + 4y^2 + 16y + 17 = -4x + 2y + 5
is a circle. Find the radius of the circle.
Combining all like terms and bringing all terms to one side, we get
4x2−8x+4y2+14y+12=0.
Now, completing the square fot both x and y, we get
(x−1)2+(y−(−74))2=(√174)2
According to the equation of the circle,
we get r=√(√174)2=√17/4
Thanks! :)
