To find the center and radius of the circle described by the equation \( x^2 + y^2 - 8x + 2y = 8 \), we can complete the square for the \( x \) and \( y \) terms.

  1. Rearrange the equation: \[ x^2 - 8x + y^2 + 2y = 8 \]

  2. Complete the square for the \( x \) terms:

    • Take the coefficient of \( x \) (which is -8), halve it to get -4, and square it to get 16.
    • Thus, \( x^2 - 8x \) becomes \( (x - 4)^2 - 16 \).
  3. Complete the square for the \( y \) terms:

    • Take the coefficient of \( y \) (which is 2), halve it to get 1, and square it to get 1.
    • Thus, \( y^2 + 2y \) becomes \( (y + 1)^2 - 1 \).
  4. Substitute these completed squares back into the equation: \[ (x - 4)^2 - 16 + (y + 1)^2 - 1 = 8 \]

  5. Simplify the equation: \[ (x - 4)^2 + (y + 1)^2 - 17 = 8 \] \[ (x - 4)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 25 \]

Now we can identify the center and radius:

  • The center \((h, k)\) is \((4, -1)\).
  • The radius \(r\) is \(\sqrt{25} = 5\).

Therefore, the center and radius of the circle are:

  • Center = (4, -1), Radius = 5

The correct response is: center=(4,−1), radius=5.
