How to determine the foci vertices and center of an ellipse in general form

The video tutorial covers the process of completing the square, particularly in the context of ellipses. It begins with an introduction to the importance of completing the square, followed by a detailed explanation of the steps involved. The tutorial then demonstrates how to factor and create perfect square trinomials, transform equations into standard form, and calculate the vertices and foci of an ellipse. The video also includes a section on graphing the ellipse and concludes with a discussion on calculating eccentricity.
