9x^2-4y^2-18x+8y+41=0
9(x^2 - 2x + .....) - 4(y^2 - 2y + ....) = -41
9(x^2 - 2x + 1) - 4(y^2 - 2y + 1) = -41 + 1 + 1
I will let you finish it from there.
You do realize of course, that your equation does NOT represent an ellipse.
Find the vertices, center, asymptotes, and foci of the ellipse and sketch its graph: 9x^2-4y^2-18x+8y+41=0

You forgot to multiply the 9 and the 4 to make the equation = -41 + 9 - 4
you are right, I messed up
