How to write an ellipse in standard form to find the center, foci and vertices

The video tutorial explains how to work with ellipse equations by introducing two different formulas. It guides through rewriting a given equation to match these formulas using the method of completing the square. The process involves factoring and simplifying the equation to find the values of A, B, and C, which are crucial for identifying the center, vertices, and foci of the ellipse. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps and the importance of understanding these concepts in geometry.
