es of p and q?​

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!! :)

one positive integer is 2 less than another. The product of the two integers is 24. what are the two integers?
irinina [24]

If one is positive we can conclude that the other is also positive

Positive*positive=positive(24)

The product of the two numbers is 24

And the smaller number is less than the greater number by 2

Factors of 24=1*24,2*12,3*8,4*6.

The only pair with the diffrence of two is 4*6

Therefore the two integers are 4 and 6
