Answer:

B. (x-2)^2=12

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant that completes the square is the square of half the coefficient of the x-term. That value is (-4/2)^2 = 4.

There is already a constant of 2 on the left side of the equal sign, so we need to add 2 to both sides to bring that constant value up to 4.

x^2 -4x +2 = 10 . . . . . . . given

x^2 -4x +2 +2 = 10 +2 . . . . complete the square (add 2 to both sides)

(x -2)^2 = 12 . . . . . . . . . write as a square

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parent function is function $y=f(x)$ and $a>0,$ then

the graph of the function $y=f(x-a)$ is translated a units to the right graph of the parent function;
the graph of the function $y=f(x+a)$ is translated a units to the left graph of the parent function;
the graph of the function $y=f(x)+a$ is translated a units up graph of the parent function;
the graph of the function $y=f(x)-a$ is translated a units down graph of the parent function.
