Start with the equation:
x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 22y + 1 = 0

Complete the square for x and y:
x^2 - 2x = (x - 1)^2 - 1
y^2 + 22y = (y + 11)^2 - 121

Substitute:
(x - 1)^2 - 1 + (y + 11)^2 - 121 + 1 = 0
(x - 1)^2 + (y + 11)^2 - 121 = 0

So
(x - 1)^2 + (y + 11)^2 = 121

Center = (1, -11); Radius = sqrt(121) = 11.
