homer wants to identify the center and radius of the circle defined by the equation...

Answer:
Step 2, he didn't add the values he completed the square with to both sides.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you complete the square, you need to add the values to both sides, not just one.
So when Homer added 49 + 1 or 50 to the left side of the equation, he should've also added 50 to the right side of the equation.
Hence, the equation would now be :
(x-7)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 75
In step: 2, Homer made a mistake. He added 50 on the left hand side of the equation, but did not add the same on the right hand side of the equation.
Given, x² + y² -14x + 2y -25 = 0
Step: 1 (x² -14x)+ (y² + 2y) = 25
Step: 2 (x² -14x + 49)+ (y² + 2y + 1) = 25 + 50
Step: 3 (x - 7)² + (y + 1)² = 75
Step: 4 Hence, the center of the circle is (7, -1) and the radius is [tex]\sqrt{75}[/tex] = 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
