You can put this solution on YOUR website! 9x^2 -18x + 16y^2 +64y = 71
.
9(x^2 -2x ) + 16(y^2 +4y ) = 71,,,complete the squares remembering the last term = (2nd term / 2) squared,,,,,and add compensating amt to opposite side of eqn
.
9(x^2 -2x +1) +16(y^2 +4y+4) = 71 +(9*1) + (16*4) = 144
.
9(x-1)^2 +16(y+2)^2 =144,,,, divide by 144
.
(1/16){(x-1)^2} + (1/9){(y+2)^2} = 1
.
{(x-1)^2} / 16 + {(y+2)^2} / 9 =1,,,,,,,which is eqn for ellipse
.
Center is at (1,-2),,,,,,,which is answer (b)
.
