Q. Write the equation in standard form. Then identify the center and radius.14. x2+y2−4x−12y−129=0
Rewrite Equation: Step 1: Rewrite the given equation in a more recognizable form.Original Equation: x2+y2−4x−12y−129=0Rearrange terms: x2−4x+y2−12y=129
Complete the Square: Step 2: Complete the square for the x and y terms.For x: (x2−4x)→(x−2)2−4For y: (y2−12y)→(y−6)2−36
Substitute and Simplify: Step 3: Substitute back into the equation and simplify.(x−2)2−4+(y−6)2−36=129(x−2)2+(y−6)2−40=129(x−2)2+(y−6)2=169
Identify Center and Radius: Step 4: Identify the center and radius from the standard form.Standard form: (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2Here, h=2, k=6, r2=169Radius r=169=13
