complete the standard form of the equation of the ellipse represented by the equation 9x2 + 4y2 − 36x + 8y + 4 = 0.

(x - 2)²/2² + (y + 1)²/3² = 1 ⇒ The bold values and signs are the answers

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the equation of the ellipse  

- The standard form of the equation of an ellipse with center (h , k)  

 and major axis parallel to x-axis is (x - h)²/a² + (y - k)²/b² = 1  

- The coordinates of the vertices are (h ± a , k)

- To change the form of the equation of the ellipse to standard form we

 will using the completing square

∵ The equation of the ellipse is 9x² + 4y² - 36x + 8y + 4 = 0

- Lets collect x in bracket and y in bracket

∴ (9x² - 36x) + (4y² + 8y) + 4 = 0

- We will take a common factor 9 from the bracket of x and 4 from the

 bracket of y

∴ 9(x² - 4x) + 4(y² + 2y) + 4 = 0

- Lets make 9(x² - 4x) a completing square

∵ √x² = x ⇒ the 1st term in the bracket

∵ 4x ÷ 2 = 2x ⇒ the product of the 1st and 2nd terms

∵ 2x ÷ x = 2 ⇒ the 2nd term in the bracket

∴ The bracket is (x - 2)²

∵ (x - 2)² = x² - 4x + 4 ⇒ we will add 4 in the bracket and subtract 4

  out the bracket

∴ 9[(x² - 4x + 4) - 4] = 9[(x - 2)² - 4]

- Lets make 4(y² + 2y) a completing square

∵ √y² = y ⇒ the 1st term in the bracket

∵ 2y ÷ 2 = y ⇒ the product of the 1st and 2nd terms

∵ y ÷ y = 1 ⇒ the 2nd term in the bracket

∴ The bracket is (y + 1)²

∵ (y + 1)² = y² - 2y + 1 ⇒ we will add 1 in the bracket and subtract 1

  out the bracket

∴ 4[(y² + 2y + 1) - 1] = 4[(y + 1)² - 1]

- Lets write the equation with the completing square

∴ 9[(x - 2)² - 4] + 4[(y + 1)² - 1] + 4 = 0 ⇒ simplify

∴ 9(x -2)² - 36 + 4(y + 1)² - 4 + 4 = 0 ⇒ add the numerical terms

∴ 9(x - 2)² + 4(y + 1)² - 36 = 0 ⇒ add 36 to both sides

∴ 9(x - 2)² + 4(y + 1)² = 36 ⇒ divide both sides by 36

∴ (x - 2)²/4 + (y + 1)²/9 = 1

∵ 4 = 2² and 9 = 3²

∴ (x - 2)²/2² + (y + 1)²/3² = 1

* The standard form of the equation of the ellipse is

  (x - 2)²/2² + (y + 1)²/3² = 1
