Mariah converted the following equation into standard form.25x2 + 25y2 – 200x + 100y + 4 = 025x2 – 200x + 25y2 + 100y = –425(x2 – 8x) + 25(y2 + 4y) = –425(x2 – 8x + 16) + 25(y2 + 4y + 4) = –4 + 16 + 425(x – 4)2 + 25(y + 2)2 = 16

A
Mariah did not make an error.
B
Mariah listed the center incorrectly. The center should be (–4, 2).
C
Mariah should have added 400 and 100 to the right side of the equation in step 4
D
Mariah factored incorrectly in step 5. She should have factored to (x – 8)2 and (y + 4)2.
