How to find the vertices, foci and center of an ellipse

The video tutorial explains how to find the standard form of an ellipse and determine its properties, such as the center, vertices, foci, and eccentricity. The instructor uses a step-by-step approach to complete the square, identify the major axis, and calculate the necessary values. The eccentricity is discussed in terms of its impact on the shape of the ellipse, whether it appears more circular or elongated.
