Answer:
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentation:
x^2 - 10x = -8
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8
x^2 - 10x - 25 = -33
Begin with x^2 - 10x = -8. Here's the process for completing the square:
1. Take half of the coefficient of x and square the result:
(1/2)(-10) = -5, and then (-5)^2 = + 25
2. Add this 25 to the first two terms of x^2 - 10x = -8 and also to the constant -8: x^2 - 10x + 25 = -8 + 25, or x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
3. Match this result to one of the given possible answers. Turns out that the given possible answer matching our result is the first one:
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 17
Answer:
16x^2 - 64
Step-by-step explanation:
(4x − 8)(4x + 8)
We recognize that this is the difference of squares
(a-b) (a+b) = a^2 - b^2
=(4x)^2 - 8^2
=16x^2 - 64
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem
a² + b² = c²
3² + 4² = c²
9 + 16 = c²
25 = c²
5 = c
