Answer

Final Answer: $\boxed{4.0}$

Steps

Step 1 ：The general equation of a circle is given by $(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2$. Comparing this with the given equation, we can see that the coefficients of $x$ and $y$ are $-2h$ and $2k$ respectively.

Step 2 ：Therefore, we can find $h$ by dividing the coefficient of $x$ by $-2$.

Step 3 ：So, $h = 4.0$

Step 4 ：Final Answer: $\boxed{4.0}$

$x^{2}+y^{2}-8 x+16 y-1=0$ is the equation of a circle with center $(h, k)$ and radius $r$ for:\[h=\]
