So you need to come up with a perfect square that works for the x coefficients.
like.. (2x + 2)^2
(2x+2)(2x+2) = 4x^2 + 8x + 4
Compare this to the equation given. Our perfect square has +4 instead of +23. The difference is: 23 - 4 = 19

I'm going to assume the given equation equals zero..

So, If we add subtract 19 from both sides of the equation we get the perfect square.

4x^2 + 8x + 23 - 19 = 0 - 19
4x^2 + 8x + 4 = - 19
complete the square and move 19 over..
(2x+2)^2 + 19 = 0
factor the 2 out becomes 2^2 = 4
ANSWER: 4(x+1)^2 + 19 = 0

for a short cut, the standard equation
ax^2 + bx + c = 0 becomes a(x - h)^2 + k = 0
Where "a, b, c" are the same and ..
h = -b/(2a)
k = c - b^2/(4a)

Vertex = (h, k)
this will be a minimum point when "a" is positive upward facing parabola and a maximum point when "a" is negative downward facing parabola.

Tell whether each sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither.
ANEK [815]
As an overview, an arithmetic series has a common difference (d) while a geometric series has a common ratio (r). Common difference is calculated by subtracting two consecutive numbers. Common ratio is calculates by dividing two consecutive numbers.

1.) Geometric series (r = 1/2)
2.) Neither
3.) d = 3
     19 - 16 = 3;  22 - 19 = 3;  25 - 22 = 3
4.) d = 2.8
     5.8 - 3 = 2.8;  8.6 - 5.8 = 2.8;  11.4 - 8.6 = 2.8
5.) r = 4
     24/6 = 4;  96/24 = 4;  384/96 = 4
6.) r = 4
     12/3 = 4
