Conics identify the parts of a circle by completing the square

The video tutorial explains how to identify the center, foci, vertices, and co-vertices of conic sections. It focuses on transforming equations into the standard conic section form using the method of completing the square. The tutorial demonstrates grouping terms and creating perfect square trinomials to identify the equation as a circle, finding its center and radius. It concludes with a discussion on the differences between circles and ellipses.
