You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4x^2+4y^2-4x+2y-1=0
4x^2-4x+4y^2+2y=1
4[(x^2+x+y^2+(1/2)y]=1
4(x+(1/2)x+1/4)+(y+(1/4)+(1/16))=1+1+(1/4). Complete the square, adding the constant to both sides.
4(x+(1/2))^2+4(y+(1/4))^2=9/4.
divide both sides by 4
(x+1/2)^2+(y+1/4)^2=9/16
circle with center (-1/2),-1/4) and radius 3/4
