Question
### Circle Equation Problem

**Question:**
What is the equation of the circle with center \((\frac{1}{2}, 0)\) and radius 6?

**Answer Choices:**

1. \[
   \frac{(2x - 1)^2}{4} + y^2 = 36
   \]

2. \[
   \frac{(2x - 1)^2}{2} + y^2 = 6
   \]

3. \[
   \frac{(2x - 1)^2}{4} + y^2 = 6
   \]

4. \[
   \frac{(2x - 1)^2}{2} + y^2 = 36
   \]

### Explanation:

To find the correct equation, recall the standard form of a circle's equation: 
\[
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
\]
where \((h, k)\) is the center of the circle, and \(r\) is the radius.

For this problem:
- The center is \((\frac{1}{2}, 0)\).
- The radius is 6.

Substituting these values into the standard form, we get:
\[
\left(x - \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + (y - 0)^2 = 6^2
\]

Simplifying further:
\[
\left(x - \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + y^2 = 36
\]

Checking against the provided answer choices, we see that the correct equation is not present in its simplified form, but an equivalent representation is:
\[
\frac{(2x - 1)^2}{4} + y^2 = 36
\]

Thus, the correct answer is:
\[
\frac{(2x - 1)^2}{4} + y^2 = 36
\]

### Answer:
- The correct option is the first one: \(\boxed{\frac{(2x - 1)^2}{4} + y^2 = 36}\)
