The form (x - p)^2 = q is the form that completing the square will leave us with.
---Add 5 to both sides
x^2 - 8x = 5
---Divide the b term by 2, and square it. Then, add that number to both sides.
-8/2 = -4
(-4)^2 = 16
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 5 + 16
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 21
---Factor!
(x - 4)^2 = 21
p = 4
q = 21
Hope this helps!! :)

Marina:
G^2+2=0,
g^2=-2
g= sqrt-2, not possible.
3g+1=0
3g=-1
g=-1/3
9 cannot be equal to zero for the last one.
Answer:
D ) 256
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence is 1,4,27, ---, 3125
This is sequence of given problem

so here missing is '4' term is
The fourth term is 256.
-3 =-2x - 7
Add 7 to both sides
4=-2x
Divide by -2
-2 = x
