SOLUTION: Find the center and vertices of the ellipse x2 + 4y2

SOLUTION: Find the center and vertices of the ellipse x2 + 4y2 - 4x + 8y + 4 = 0

Question 759821: Find the center and vertices of the ellipse x2 + 4y2 - 4x + 8y + 4 = 0
Answer by DSMLMD(16) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2 + 4y^2 - 4x + 8y + 4 = 0
x^2 - 4x + 4y^2 + 8y +4 =
(x^2 - 4x + 4) + 4(y^2 + 2y + 1) = 0
(x-2)^2 - 4 + 4(y + 1)^2 = 0
(x - 2)^2 + 4(y + 1)^2 = 4

divided by 4 so we get the right side become 1 according to ellipse equation:
(x - 2)^2/4 + (y + 1)^2 = 1

The equation also can be written by:
(x - 2)^2/4 + (y + 1)^2/1 = 1

we get:

h=2
k=-1
a^2=4 -> a=2
b^2=1 -> b=1

center of ellipse:
(h,k)
(2,-1)

vertices of ellipse:
(a�h,k)
(2�2,-1)
(2+2,-1) and (2-2,-1)
(4,-1) and (0,-1)
