To solve the exercise, we are going to complete the square, that is, we are going to find values c and d, such that these polynomials:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2+4x+c \\ \text{ and} \\ y^2+2y+d \end{gathered}[/tex]

be perfect square trinomials.

These values are found like this:

[tex]\begin{gathered} c=(\frac{b}{2})^2 \\ \text{ Where} \\ ax^2+bx+c\Rightarrow\text{ Square trinomial} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then the value c will be:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2+4x+c \\ a=1 \\ b=4 \\ c=\text{?} \\ c=(\frac{b}{2})^2 \\ c=(\frac{4}{2})^2 \\ c=2^2 \\ c=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

And the value d will be:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y^2+2y+d \\ a=1 \\ b=2 \\ d=\text{?} \\ d=(\frac{b}{2})^2 \\ d=(\frac{2}{2})^2 \\ d=1^2 \\ d=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, rewriting the original equation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2+4x+y^2+2y=-2 \\ x^2+4x+y^2+2y+c+d=-2+c+d \\ \text{ Add c and d to both sides of the equation so as not to alter the equality} \\ x^2+4x+y^2+2y+4+1=-2+4+1 \\ \text{ Add similar terms} \\ x^2+4x+y^2+2y+4+1=3 \\ \text{ Reorder} \\ x^2+4x+4+y^2+2y+1=3 \\ \text{ Factor} \\ (x+2)^2+(y+1)^2=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, the equation of a circle in standard form is

[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 \\ \text{ Where} \\ (h,k)\text{ are the coordinates of the center and} \\ r\text{ is the radius of the circle} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of this circle in its standard form is

[tex](x+2)^2+(y+1)^2=3[/tex]

the radius is

[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\sqrt[]{3} \\ \text{ Because} \\ r^2=(\sqrt[]{3})^2=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

the coordinates of the center are

[tex]\begin{gathered} h=-2 \\ \text{ Because} \\ (x+2)^2=(x-(-2))^2=(x-h)^2 \\ \text{ and} \\ k=-1 \\ \text{ Because} \\ (y+1)^2=(y-(-1))^2=(y-k)^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

and the center is

[tex](h,k)=(-2,-1)[/tex]
