**Question 24:** What are the center and radius of the circle whose equation is \( x^2 + y^2 + 4x = 5 \)?

1) \( (2,0) \) and 1
2) \( (-2,0) \) and 1
3) \( (2,0) \) and 3
4) \( (-2,0) \) and 3


**Explanation:**

To determine the center and radius of the circle given by the equation \( x^2 + y^2 + 4x = 5 \), we need to rewrite the equation in the standard form of a circle.

1. Start with the equation: 
\[ x^2 + y^2 + 4x = 5 \]

2. Complete the square for the \( x \) terms:
\[ x^2 + 4x + y^2 = 5 \]

3. Add and subtract the square of half the coefficient of \( x \) (which is 2):
\[ x^2 + 4x + 4 + y^2 = 5 + 4 \]
\[ (x + 2)^2 + y^2 = 9 \]

Now the equation is in standard form \( (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 \), where \((h, k)\) is the center and \( r \) is the radius.

From \( (x + 2)^2 + y^2 = 9 \), we can see that:
- The center \((h, k) = (-2, 0)\)
- The radius \( r = \sqrt{9} = 3 \)

Thus, the correct answer is:
4) \( (-2,0) \) and 3
