To rewrite conics in standard form, group x and y terms, complete the square for each. For instance, x² + 6x + y² – 2y= 6 transforms into (x²+6x+9)+(y²–2y+1)=6+9+1 → (x+3)²+(y–1)²=16, a circle. This systematically reveals center, radius (circle), or center, axes (ellipse, hyperbola). Completing the square is essential for identifying conic type, orientation, and focal properties. Mastery ensures quick conversions from general to standard forms, enabling geometric interpretations or direct application in advanced designs and analyses.
