Complete the square to determine whether the equation represents an ellipse, a parabola, a hyperbola, or a degenerate conic. Write the standard form of the equation of the conic and state its name.
x^2 +4y^2 +20x-40y+300=0
=================
x^2+20x + 4y^2-40y = -300
---
Complete the squares for x and for y.
