Answer

$(x-\displaystyle \frac{1}{2})^{2}+y^{2}=\frac{1}{4}$ $x^{2}+y^{2}-x=0$

Work Step by Step

The standard form of an equation of a circle with radius $r$ and center $(h,k)$ is $(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$ When its graph is a circle, the equation $x^{2}+y^{2}+ax+by+c=0$ is the general form of the equation of a circle. --- Standard form: $(x-\displaystyle \frac{1}{2})^{2}+(y-0)^{2}=(\frac{1}{2})^{2}$ $(x-\displaystyle \frac{1}{2})^{2}+y^{2}=\frac{1}{4}$ General form: $x^{2}-x+\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}+y^{2}=\frac{1}{4}$ $x^{2}+y^{2}-x=0$
