not sure if this will help but,

the general form of a circle is (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2, where r is the radius of the circle. this general form is in completed square form. i guess what the worked example general form means that when u expand the completed square form. to find the radius just make r the subject. i only learnt this in JC though

hope this helps!

oh and the coordinates of the centre of the circle are (a, b). it's like solving for the value of x.
