Master how to determine the center, vertices, foci by completing the square of an ellipse

The video tutorial explains how to determine the center, foci, vertices, and co-vertices of an ellipse not in standard form. It covers the process of completing the square to transform the equation into a recognizable form, allowing for the identification of key ellipse parameters. The tutorial includes a detailed example problem, demonstrating each step in solving for the ellipse's properties.
