Question: Simplify

.
First off, you <em>never</em> want square roots on the bottom of a fraction, so let's multiply both sides by

to get rid of it. All we have to do from there is simplify!
The question was worded weird but if it’s asking for 1/4 divided by 8 then the answer is 2

I just did it the answer is C
Answer:
y = (x-3)^2 - 17
Step-by-step explanation:
To complete the square, take the middle term bx and divide it in two. Then take the square.
x^2 - 6x - 8 has bx = -6x. Take -6/2 = -3. Square -3^2 = 9.
Now to finish completing the square add 9 and subtract 9 from one side.
y = x^2 - 6x - 8
y = (x^2 - 6x +9) -9 - 8
y = (x-3)^2 - 17
