The equation of the circle is 4x^2+4y^2-12x+16y-5=0. Write this in the standard form of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r: (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
4x^2+4y^2-12x+16y-5=0
=> x^2 + y^2 - 3x + 4y - 5/4 = 0
=> x^2 - 3x + 9/4 + y^2 + 4y + 4 = 5/4 + 9/4 + 4
=> (x - 3/2)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 15/2
The center of the circle is `(3/2, -2)` and the radius is `sqrt 7.5`
