Write the equation for the circle in vertex form: • Example 1 Step 1: Move the constant to the other side of the equation & put your common variables together
Example 1 • Step 2: Identify the coefficients of the squared terms and divide everything by that coefficient. • Both coefficients are 1 so divide everything by 1
Example 1 • Step 3: Group the x terms together and the y terms together using parenthesis.
Example 1 • Step 4: Complete the square for the x terms Then for the y terms
Example 1 • Step 5: Write the factored form for the groups. What is the center of this circle? What is the radius?

Recall: • The equation for a circle does not have denominators • The equation for an ellipse and a hyperbola do have denominators • The equation for a circle is not equal to one • The equation for an ellipse and a hyperbola are equal to one • We have a different set of steps for converting ellipses and hyperbolas to the vertex form:
Write the equation for the ellipse in vertex form: • Example 5 • Step 1: Move the constant to the other side of the equation and move common variables together
Example 5 • Step 2: Group the x terms together and the y terms together • Step 3: Factor the GCF (coefficient)from the x group and then from the y group
Example 5 • Step 4: Complete the square on the x group (don’t forget to multiply by the GCF before you add to the right side.) Then do the same for the y terms
Example 5 • Step 5: Write the factored form for the groups. **Now we have to make the equation equal 1 and that will give us our denominators
Example 5 • Step 6: Divide by the constant.
Example 5 • Step 7: simplify each fraction. Now the equation looks like what we are used to!! 1 4 9
