  1. Radius is #sqrt4=2#
    Centre (1,-3)

  2. Radius is #sqrt14#
    Centre (0,3)

  3. #x^2+4x+y^2-2y=20#
    #(x +2)^2-4+(y-1)^2-1=20#
    #(x +2)^2+(y-1)^2=25#

Radius #sqrt25=5#
Centre (-2,1)

Explanation:

Given: #(x-1)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 4; " "x^2 + (y-3)^2 = 14#

# " " y^2 + 4x-20 - 2y = -x^2#

The standard circle equation: #(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2#,

where center = #(h, k)# and the radius # = r#

The first 2 centers come directly from the equation:

1) center #(1, -3), " "r = sqrt(4) = 2#

2) center #(0, 3), " "r = sqrt(14)#

The third equation must be put into standard form by completing the square. Put #x-#terms together and #y-# terms together:

# (x^2 + 4x) + (y^2 - 2y) = 20#

Cut each #x# and #y# constant in half to compete the square and add the addition sum (31/2 constant)^2# to the other side:

#(x +2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 20 + (2)^2 + (-1)^2 #

#(x +2)^2 + (y-1)^2 =25#

3) center #(-2, -1), " "r = sqrt(25) = 5#
