For x²+bx+c, to complete the square, you add (half of b)²
b=8 in this case, so you add 4², which is 16
x²+8x+16-16-4
y=(x+4)²-20 is the final form.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$
