The hyperbola equation in standard form is:
x^2 :
(x + 1)^2/946 ,


y^2 :
(y - 4)^2/59 ,Constant :1

Here's the step-by-step process of converting the equation to standard form:

Step 1: Complete the square for x.

Move the constant term to the right side of the equation:
x^2 + 2x - 16y^2 + 64y - 79 = 0

We want to complete
x^2 + 2x into a perfect square. To do that, we should add and subtract
(1/2)^2 = 1to it:
x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1 - 16y^2 + 64y - 79 = 0

Rewrite the expression as
(x + 1)^2 - 1 - 16y^2 + 64y - 79 = 0

Step 2: Complete the square for y.

Move the constant terms to the right side of the equation:
(x + 1)^2 - 1-
16y^2 + 64y - 79 = 0

We want to complete
-16y^2 + 64y into a perfect square. To do that, we should add and subtract
(-1/2 * 64)^2 = 1024 to it:


(x + 1)^2 - 1 - 16y^2 + 64y + 1024 - 1024 - 79 = 0

Rewrite the expression as
(x + 1)^2 - 1 - 16(y - 4)^2 + 1024 - 79 = 0

Step 3: Combine constant terms.


(x + 1)^2 - 1 - 16(y - 4)^2 + 1024 - 79 = 0

Combine the constant terms:
(x + 1)^2 - 1 - 16(y - 4)^2 + 945 = 0

Step 4: Write the equation in standard form.


(x + 1)^2/946 - (y - 4)^2/59 = 1

Therefore, the hyperbola equation in standard form is:


x^2 :
(x + 1)^2/946


y^2 :
(y - 4)^2/59

Constant :1
