1) To find the center of a circle given its equation, we need to rewrite the equation in the standard form (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius.

Given equation: 4x^2 + 4y^2 - 8x + 2y - 7 = 0
Rewrite it as: 4(x^2 - 2x) + 4(y^2 + 0.5y) = 7
Complete the square for x: 4(x^2 - 2x + 1) + 4(y^2 + 0.5y) = 7 + 4(1)
Simplify: 4(x - 1)^2 + 4(y + 0.25)^2 = 11
Divide by 4: (x - 1)^2 + (y + 0.25)^2 = 11/4

Comparing this with the standard form, we have:
Center at (1, -0.25)

2)
a)
Given that the common ratio of the GP is 3:
i) Let the first term of the AP be a and the common difference be d.
From the information given, we have:
14 = a + a = 2a, so a = 7
34 = a + d + a*3 = 7 + d + 21 --> d = 6

ii) The sixth term of the sequence:
AP: 7, 13, 19, 25, 31, 37
GP: 7, 21, 63, 189, 567, 1701
Adding corresponding terms: 14, 34, 78, 214, 598, 1738

Sum of the first six terms:
7 + 13 + 19 + 25 + 31 + 37 + 7 + 21 + 63 + 189 + 567 + 1701 = 2670

b) Given that the second term of the GP is 24 and the third term is 12(x + 1):
From the GP, we have:
24 = a*r
12(x + 1) = a*r^2

Solve for a and r:
24 = a*r
12(x + 1) = a*r^2
12(x + 1) = 24*r
x + 1 = 2r

Given that the sum of the first three terms is 76:
a + ar + ar^2 = 76
Substitute for a and r:
24 + 24r + 24r^2 = 76
24 + 24(2r) + 24(2r)^2 = 76
24 + 48r + 96r^2 = 76
96r^2 + 48r - 52 = 0
Divide by 4: 24r^2 + 12r - 13 = 0
Solve for r: r = 1, -13/24

If r = 1:
24 = a
a = 24

If r = -13/24:
24 = -13/24*a
a = -576

Therefore, the first term is either 24 or -576.
