Question
How is the square completed?
We proceed to complete the squares in \( x \) and in \( y \).

\[ x^2 - 2x + 4y^2 + 8y + 1 = 0 \]

Place the constant on the right side:
\[ x^2 - 2x + 4y^2 + 8y = -1 \]

Factor out 4 from the \( y \)-terms:
\[ (x^2 - 2x) + 4(y^2 + 2y) = -1 \]

Complete each square:
\[ (x^2 - 2x + 1) + 4(y^2 + 2y + 1) = -1 + 1 + 4 \cdot 1 \]

Factor:
\[ (x-1)^2 + 4(y+1)^2 = 4 \]

Divide by 4:
\[ \frac{(x-1)^2}{4} + \frac{4(y+1)^2}{4} = \frac{4}{4} \]

Simplify:
\[ \frac{(x-1)^2}{4} + (y+1)^2 = 1 \]
