We have, $4\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2-8\text{x}+2\text{y}+1=0$
$\Rightarrow4\big(\text{x}^2-2\text{x}\big)+\big(\text{y}^2+2\text{y}\big)+1=0$
$\Rightarrow4\Big[\big(\text{x}^2-2\text{x}+1\big)-1\Big]+\Big[\big(\text{y}^2+2\text{y}-1\big)\Big]+1=0$
$\Rightarrow4\Big[\big(\text{x}-1\big)^2-1\Big]+\Big[\big(\text{y}+1\big)^2-1\Big]+1=0$
$\Rightarrow4\big(\text{x}-1\big)^2-4+\big(\text{y}+1\big)^2-1+1=0$
$\Rightarrow4\big(\text{x}-1\big)^2+\big(\text{y}+1\big)^2-4=0$
$\Rightarrow4\big(\text{x}-1\big)^2+\big(\text{y}+1\big)^2=4$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\big(\text{x}-2\big)^2}{1}+\frac{\big(\text{y}+3\big)^2}{4}=1$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\big(\text{x}-1\big)^2}{1^2}+\frac{\big(\text{y}+1\big)^2}{2^2}=1\ \dots(\text{i})$
$\therefore\ $The coordinates of centre of the ellipse are (1, -1).
Shifting the origin at (1, -1) without rotating the coordinate axes and denoting the new coordinates with respect to the new axes by x and y, we have
x = x + 1 and y = y - 1 $\dots(\text{ii})$
using these relations, equation (i) reduces to
$\frac{\text{x}^2}{\text{1}^2}+\frac{\text{y}^2}{\text{2}^2}=1$
This is of the form
$\frac{\text{x}^2}{\text{a}^2}+\frac{\text{y}^2}{\text{b}^2}=1,$ where a = 1 and b = 2
clearly, a > b. so, the given equation represents an ellipse whose and minor axes are along x and y axes respectively.
Length of the axes:
Major-axis = $2\text{a}=2\times2=4$
Minor-axis = $2\text{a}=2\times1=2$
Eccentricity: The eccentricity e is given by
$\text{e}=\sqrt{1-\frac{\text{b}^2}{\text{a}^2}}$
$=\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{{4}}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{4-1}{4}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}$
$={\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}.$
foci: The coordinates of the foci with respect to the new axes are given by $\big(\text{x}=0,\ \text{y}=\pm\text{be}\big)$ i.e., $\Big(\text{x}=0,\ \text{y}=\pm\sqrt{3}\Big)$
Putting $\text{x}=0$ and $\text{y}=\pm\sqrt{3}$ in equation (iii), we get
$\text{x}=0+1$ and $\text{y}=\pm\sqrt{3}-1$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=1$ and $\text{y}=-1\pm\sqrt{3}$
