Question

choose the equation that shows a step in the process of completing the square on the given quadratic. y = x2 8x – 3 y = x2 8x 8 – 3 – 8 y = x2 8x 8 – 3 8 y = x2 8x 16 – 3 – 16 y = x2 8x 16 – 3 16

Answer 1

y = x^2 + 8x - 3
y = x^2 + 8x + (8/2)^2 - 3 - (8/2)^2
y = x^2 + 8x + 16 - 3 - 16

Answer 2

The next step will be :
`x^(2)+8x+16-3-16`.

Explanation:

we are given a quadratic equation as:

`y=x^2+8x-3`

now we have to find next step in the process for completing the square on the given quadratic

`y=x^2+4^(2)+2\ * x *4-4^(2)-3`

`y=x^2+8x+16-3-16`

Hence, the next step will be
`y=x^2+8x+16-3-16`.
