Question

(x - 6)^2 - 12 = x^2- 12x + c. What is the value of c?

Answer 1

C = 24

Explanation:

(x - 6)² - 12 = x² - 12x + c

(x - 6) (x - 6) -12 = x² - 12x + c

x(x - 6) - 6(x - 6) - 12 = x² - 12x + c

x² - 6x -6x + 36 - 12 = x² - 12x + c

x² - 12x +36 - 12 = x² - 12x + c

x² - 12x + 24 = x² - 12x + c

24 = c
