$2x^2\; -\;4x\;+\;2y^2\;+12y\;-\;12$ = 0

Divide each term by 2

$x^2\;-2x +\;y^2 + 6y$ - 6 = 0

Complete the squares

(x - 1)2 + (y + 3)2 - 6 = 0

Centre (1,-3)

Radius = $\sqrt{6+(1)^2+(-3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{6+1+9}$ = $\sqrt16\$ = 4 units

Next: Solve for y given that $log_2(2y\; + \;3)-\;2\; = log_2(y - 2)$
Previous: Differentiate y = (x + 2)(x - 1) with respect x
