Complete the square to transform the quadratic equation into the form

Mathematics
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]3 years ago
7 0

The square of a binomial is written like

(x\pm a)^2 = x^2\pm 2ax + a^2

In your case, you have 2ax=-8x, which implies a=-4

So, we want to write

(x-4)^2 = x^2-8x+16

But our left hand side is

x^2-8x-10

If we add 26 to both sides, we have

x^2 - 8x - 10 +26 = 18+26 \iff x^2-8x+16=44 \iff (x-4)^2=44
