Question
How is the square completed?
We proceed to complete the squares in x and in y.
x²-2x+4y² +8y + 1 = 0
x² - 2x+4y² + 8y = -1
(x²-2x) +4(y² + 2y) = -1
(x² - 2x + 1) +4(y² + 2y + 1) = −1+1+4.1
(x - 1)² + 4(y + 1)²
(x-1)² 4(y + 1)²
+

Place the constant on the right
side.
Factor out 4 from the y-terms.
Complete each square.
Factor.
Divide by 4.
Simplify.
