Step 1 :Rewrite the given equations in their standard forms.
Step 2 :Complete the square for the y and z terms in equation (a): $4x^2 + y^2 + 4z^2 - 4y - 24z + 36 = 0$
Step 3 :Rewrite equation (a) in its standard form: \(\boxed{4x^2 + (y - 2)^2 + 4(z - 3)^2 = 4}\)
Step 4 :Complete the square for the x, y, and z terms in equation (b): $x^2 - y^2 + z^2 - 2x + 2y + 4z + 2 = 0$
Step 5 :Rewrite equation (b) in its standard form: \(\boxed{(x - 1)^2 - (y - 1)^2 + (z + 2)^2 = 1}\)
