The standard equation of a circle is (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k)(h,k) is the center and rr is the radius.

The given equation for number 8 is:

(2x−2)2+4(−y−3)2=12(2x-2)^2 + 4(-y-3)^2 = 12
  1. Rewrite the terms to match the standard form.

    For the first term, factor out 2:

    (2x−2)2=(2(x−1))2=22(x−1)2=4(x−1)2(2x-2)^2 = (2(x-1))^2 = 2^2(x-1)^2 = 4(x-1)^2

    For the second term, factor out -1 from (−y−3)(-y-3):

    (−y−3)2=(−(y+3))2=(−1)2(y+3)2=(y+3)2(-y-3)^2 = (-(y+3))^2 = (-1)^2(y+3)^2 = (y+3)^2

    Substitute these back into the equation:

    4(x−1)2+4(y+3)2=124(x-1)^2 + 4(y+3)^2 = 12
  2. Divide the entire equation by 4 to get the coefficients of the squared terms to be 1.

    4(x−1)24+4(y+3)24=124\frac{4(x-1)^2}{4} + \frac{4(y+3)^2}{4} = \frac{12}{4} (x−1)2+(y+3)2=3(x-1)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 3
  3. Identify the center and radius from the standard form.

    Comparing (x−1)2+(y+3)2=3(x-1)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 3 with (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2:
    The center (h,k)(h,k) is (1,−3)(1, -3).
    The radius squared r2r^2 is 3, so the radius rr is 3\sqrt{3}.

    The radius is 3\boxed{\sqrt{3}}
    The coordinates of the center are (1,−3)\boxed{(1, -3)}
