Answer 1

Answer:

A. 36, -36

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 - 12x - 5

steps to complete the square

add a 5 to both sides to move the constant

x^2 - 12x = 5

Then take -12, the coefficient of the variable and divide by 2 and square.

12/2 = 6, 6^2 = 36

Then add 36 to both sides.

x^2 - 12x + 36 = 5 + 36

Then subtract the 5 and 36 from both sides.

x^2 - 12x + 36 - 36 - 5
