    4x2 + 25y2 - 24x + 200y + 336 = 0 is the general form of an ellipse. Write the equation of this conic section in standard form by filling in the appropriate values for each open response.

Step 1:4x2 - 24x + 25y2 + 200y =  
Step 2: 4(x2 - 6x) + 25(y2 + y) =  
Step 3: 4(x2 - 6x + ) + 25(y2 + y + ) =  
+ 4()
+ 25()
 
Step 4: 4(x - )2 + 25(y + )2 =  
Step 5:
(x - )2  (y + )2
+
